[A] When the night has come [F#m] and the land is dark and [D] the moon is [Em] the only [E] light [A] we'll see,
No, I won't be afraid, oh, I [F#m] won't [Em] be [F#m] afraid, just [D] as long as [E] you stand, stand [A] by me.
So, darling, don't [G#] you go, [F#] stand [C#m] by [F#] me, [D] oh, stand, [E] stand by me, [A] stand by me.
If the sky that we look upon
[F#m] should [E] tumble [F#m] and fall, or [D] the mountains [E] should crumble to [A] the sea,
[F#m] [E] Shed [F#m] a tear, just [D] as long as [E] you stand, stand [A] by me.
And, darling, stand by me, oh, [F#m] stand by me, [D] oh, stand now, [E] stand by [A] me, stand by me.
