Stand by me (1961) (video) (midi)

G Em

1. When the night has come,     and the land is dark,

C D G

and the moon is the only light we'll see.

Em

    No, I won't be afraid, no, I won't be afraid,

C D G

just as long as you stand, stand by me.

G Em

So, darling, darling, stand by me, oh, stand by me.

C D G

Oh, stand,     stand by me,     stand by me.

G Em

2. If the sky that we look upon      should tumble and fall,

C D G

or the mountain should crumble to the sea.

Em

    I won't cry, I won't cry, no, I won't shed a tear,

                C                  D                     G

just as long as you stand, stand by me.

+ CHORUS

    (Ben E. King)
