verse 1
                G      (2)             Em     (2)
      When the night has come and the land is dark
               C  (1)      D7   (1)        G   (2)
      and the moon is the only light to see
            G     (2)              Em      (2)
      No I won't be afraid No I..I won't be afraid
               C   (1)      D7   (1)        G   (2)
      Just as long as you stand,     stand by me

chorus
                        G                   
      Darling Darling Stand, By Me
              Em
      Oh Oh,Stand by me
           C    D7            G
      Oh Stand,   Stand by me,  Stand by me


verse 2
              G                      Em
      If the Sky that we look upon       should tumble and fall
              C                D7                G
      or the mountains should crumble to the sea
               G                        Em
      I won't cry I won't cry  No I..I won't shed a tear
               C            D7              G
      Just as long as you stand by me stand by me
