A F#m D E 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
No, I won't be afraid,
Fm
No, I won't be afraid
D E A
Just as long as you stand, stand by me.
Chorus:
So, darling, darling, stand by me,
Fm
Oh, stand by me.
D E A
Oh, stand, stand by me,
Stand by me.
If the sea that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble in the sea,
I won't cry, I won't cry,
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me.
Chorus
