Intro

    
    

Verse 1

When the night has come and the land is dark
And the mo- on is the on- ly light we'll see 
No, I wo - n't be af- raid, no, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you st-and, stand by me So darlin', darlin'

Chorus 1

Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh, stand, stand by me, stand by me 

Verse 2

If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall
Or the mount-ains should crumble to the sea 
I won't cry, I won't cry, no, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me And darling, darling

Chorus 2

Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now, stand by me, stand by me 

Solo

    
    
    
Darling, darling

Chorus 3

Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now, stand by me, stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble won't you
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now, oh, stand, stand by me
(fade out)
