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

Whenever you're in trouble, won't you stand [E] by me?
