(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.
