[Eb] [F]
[Bb] [D] [Bb]
When the night has come [Gm] and the land is dark [Eb] and the moon is [F] light,
it's the only, [Bb] only light we've seen.
No, I won't be afraid.
No, no, [Gm] no, no, no, no, I won't be afraid.
[Eb] Just as long, [F] just as long, just as long as you [Bb] stand by me.
[F] [Bb] My darling, whenever I'm in trouble, [Gm] darling, you understand,
I need just a little help from you, [Eb] my friend.
[F] And darling, darling, [Bb] won't you stand by me.
The sky, [Fm] [C] look [Bb] up on it, [G] [D] she's [G] tumbling,
all [Eb] of the mountains [Bb] [F] may crumble, may crumble [Bb] to the sea.
[A] [Bb]
I won't cry.
[C] [Bb]
No, [G] no, no, no, no, I won't [D] [G] shed no tears.
[Dm] [Eb] Just as long, [F] just as long, just as long as [Bb] you stand by me.
And darling, darling, I said I need [G] somebody right now.
[Bb] I need just [Eb] a little helping hand.
[F] Need someone to come pick me up and let [Bb] me stand by you.
Come on, come on, my baby.
[Gm] My, my, my, my, my, my baby.
Oh, [Eb] oh, [F] come on, come on and [Bb] stand, stand by me.
And darling, [E] [Bb] darling, stand by me.
Come on, pretty [G] lady, stand by me.
Stand, stand [Gm] by me.
Come on [Eb] and help me, baby.
[F] Need a little help?
Come on and stand, [Bb] stand by me.
Whenever I'm in trouble, won't you stand?
Come on and stand by me.
My, my, my, [G] my, my, my baby.
Come on.
