    GWhen the night has come
  EmAnd the land is dark
And the Cmoon is the Donly light we'll Gsee
No, I won't be afraid,
No, I won't be afraid
Just as long, Just as long as you stand by me.
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea,
I won't cry, I won't cry,
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long, Just as long as you stand by me.
{c: 2nd guitar played chords, drum plays snare on every 2nd}
So, darling, darling, stand by me,
Oh! stand, oh darling won't you stand now
Stand by me.
{eoc:}
{C: CHORUS}
When all your friends they have gone
You just stand by me
Oh darling, won't you stand now, stand by me.
{c: Don't forget to stay on G, Markus!}
GWhen ever you're in trouble
You just stand, ohh stand.
Won't you stand, won't you stand, won't you stand....
Stand by me...

When the night has come

And the land is dark

C D G

And the moon is the only light we'll see

No, I won't be afraid,

No, I won't be afraid

Just as long, Just as long as you stand by me.

If the sky that we look upon

Should tumble and fall

And the mountains should crumble to the sea,

I won't cry, I won't cry,

No, I won't shed a tear

Just as long, Just as long as you stand by me.

{c: 2nd guitar played chords, drum plays snare on every 2nd}

So, darling, darling, stand by me,

Oh! stand, oh darling won't you stand now

Stand by me.

{eoc:}

{: CHORUS}

When all your friends they have gone

You just stand by me

Oh darling, won't you stand now, stand by me.

{c: Don't forget to stay on G, Markus!}

When ever you're in trouble

You just stand, ohh stand.

Won't you stand, won't you stand, won't you stand....

Stand by me...
