Stand By Me chords
Ben E. King *
A F#m D E A
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
A F#m
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
D E A
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
A F#m
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me
D E A
Stand by me, stand by me
A
If the sky that we look upon
F#m
Should tumble and fall
D E A
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
A F#m
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
D E A
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
A F#m
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me
D E A
Stand by me, stand by me
A F#m
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me
D E A
Stand by me, stand by me
