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