(Ben E. King)
C a
When the night has come and the land is dark
F G C
And the moon is the only light we’ll see.
C a
No, I won’t be afraid, no, I won’t be afraid
F G C
Just as long as you stand, stand by me.
C a
So darling, darling, stand by me, oh stand by me.
F G C
Oh, stand, stand by me, stand by me.
C a
If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall,
F G C
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea.
C a
I won’t cry, I won’t cry, no, I won’t shed a tear,
F G C
Just as long as you stand, stand by me.
