[E]
[A] When the night has come [F#m] and the [A] land [F#] is dark and [D] the moon is [E] the only light [A] we'll see,
No, I won't be afraid, oh, I [F#] won't [E] be [F#m] afraid, [D] just as long as you [E] stand, stand [A] by me.
So darling, darling, stand by me, oh, [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 the [D] mountains [E] should crumble to [A] the sea,
I won't cry, I won't cry, [F#m] no, I won't [C#m] shed [F#m] a tear, just [D] as long as [E] you stand, stand [A] by me.
So darling, darling, stand by me, oh, [F#m] stand by me, [D] oh, stand now, [E] stand by [A] me, stand by me.
So
