A
when the night has come
F#m
and the land is dark
D E A
and the moon is the only light we’ll see
A F#m
no i won’t be afraid , no i won’t be afraid
D E A
just as long as you stand , stand by me

A F#m
and darlin’ , darlin’ , stand by me , oh now now stand by me
D E A
stand by me , stand by me

A
when the sky that we look upon
F#m
should tumble and fall
D E A
and the mountains should crumble to the sea
A F#m
i won’t cry , i won’t cry , no i won’t shed a tear
D E A
just as long as you stand , stand by me

A F#m
and darlin’ , darlin’ , stand by me , oh now now stand by me
D E A
stand by me , stand by me

A F#m D E A 2

xa F#m
when ever you re in trouble , stand by me , oh now now stand by me
