1. When the night has come
Emi                Emi
   And the land is dark
           C           D                G   G
   And the moon is the only light we'll see
        G        G            Emi         Emi
   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                 G        G      Emi      Emi
R: So darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me, 
      C     D            G            G
   oh stand, stand by me, stand by me
          G           G
2. If the sky that we look upon
Emi                  Emi
   Should tumble and fall
           C                D              G   G
   And the mountains should crumble to the sea
           G            G         Emi          Emi
   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
       G                 G        G      Emi      Emi
R: And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me,
      C         D            G           G
   oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me
