[A] [Em] [A]
When the night has come [F#m] and the land is dark [D] and the [G] moon [Em] is the [E] only [A] light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, oh [F#] I won't be afraid
[D] Just as long [E] as you stand, [A] stand by me
So darlin', don't [F#] stand [F#] by me
[D] Oh stand, [E] stand by [A] me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
[F#m] Should tumble and fall
[D] Or the mountain [E] should crumble all [A] through the sea
[F#m] [F#m] Shed a tear, [D] just as long [E] as you stand, [A] stand by me
