Verse 1 John Legend:
           G6
When the night has come
Em
  And the land is dark
        Cadd9       Dsus2                G6
And the moon is the only light we'll see

Verse 2 Sam Smith:
       G6
No, I won't be afraid,
   Em
I won't be afraid
        Cadd9       Dsus2             G6
Just as long as you stand, stand by me.

Chorus John Legend & Sam Smith:
                        G6
Oh, darling, darling, stand by me,

Oh, stand by me.

Oh, stand, stand by me,
G

Verse 3 John Legend:
       G6
If the sky that we look upon
Em
Should tumble and fall
        Cadd9           Dsus2          G6
Or the mountain should crumble in the sea,

Verse 4 Sam Smith:
         G6
I won't cry, I won't cry,
Em
  I won't shed a tear
        Cadd9       Dsus2             G6
Just as long as you stand, stand by me.

Chorus John Legend & Sam Smith:
                       G6

     Em
Oh, stand by me.
