tabs:

 

A
When the night has come
F#m
And the land is dark
.                        D               E                           A
And the moon is the only light we’ll see

No, I won’t be afraid,
.          F#m
No, I won’t be afraid
.                    D                     E                       A
Just as long as you stand, stand by me.

 

A
So, darling, darling, stand by me,

.       F#m
Oh, stand by me.
.       D         E                   A
Oh, stand, stand by me,
Stand by me.

 

A
If the sky that we look upon
F#m
Should tumble and fall
.                      D                  E                             A
Or the mountain should crumble in the sea,

A
I won’t cry, I won’t cry,
.         F#m
No, I won’t shed a tear
.                    D                     E                         A
Just as long as you stand, stand by me.

 






A
So, darling, darling, stand by me,

.       F#m
Oh, stand by me.
.       D         E                   A
Oh, stand, stand by me,
Stand by me.
