John Lennon 1975 (Ben E. King) *
[A] [F#m] [D] [E] [A]
[A]When the night has come
[F#m] And the land is dark
And the [D]moon is the [E]only light we'll [A]see
[A]No I won't be afraid, no I [F#m]won't be afraid
Just as [D]long as you [E]stand, stand by [A]me
[A]And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now [F#m]stand by me
[D]Stand by me, [E]stand by [A]me
[A]When the sky that we look upon
[F#m] Should tumble and fall
And the [D]mountains should [E]crumble to the [A]sea
[A]I won't cry, I won't cry, no I [F#m]won't shed a tear
[D]Just as long as you stand, [E]stand by [A]me
[A]And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now [F#m]stand by me
[D]Stand by me, [E]stand by [A]me
[A] [F#m] [D] [E] [A]
[A]When ever you re in trouble, stand by me, oh now now [F#m]stand by me
[D]Stand by me, [E]stand by [A]me
[A]And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now [F#m]stand by me
[D]Stand by me, [E]stand by [A]me . . .
(talking)
[A]When ever you re in trouble, stand by me, oh now now [F#m]stand by me
[D]Stand by me, [E]stand by [A]me
