When the night has come and [F#m] the land is dark [D] and the moon is the [E] only [A] light we'll see
No, I won't be afraid, oh [F#m] I'll be afraid
[D] Just as long [E] as you stand, stand [A] by me
So darlin', darlin', [F#] oh stand [C#m] by [F#] me
[D] Oh stand, [E] stand by [A] me, 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
I won't cry
[F#m] [C#m] [F#m] a tear, just [D] as long as [E] you stand, stand [A] by me
And darlin', stand, [F#] oh stand [C#m] by [F#m] me

Whenever you're in trouble, won't you stand, oh [F#m] stand [E] by [F#] me
Oh [D] stand now, oh [E] stand, stand [A] by me
