Griffe:

1.  Strophe:
G             C                     Am
When the night has come and the land is dark,
             F                G                  C
And the moon is the only light will see,
                                       Am
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
So darling, darling,
C                        Am
Stand by me, oh, stand by me,
       F               G                 C
Oh, stand now, stand by me, stand by me.

2.  Strophe:
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.
So darling, darling,
Stand by me, oh, stand by me,
Oh, stand now, stand by me, stand by me.
