Stand by Me

by Ben E. King, in the key of A

A
When the night has come
F♯m
And the land is dark
F♯m
And the 
D
moon is the 
E
only light we'll 
A
see
A
No I won't be afraid, oh I 
F♯m
won't be afraid
F♯m
Just as 
D
long as you 
E
stand, stand by 
A
me

A
So darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh 
F♯m
stand by me
F♯m
Oh 
D
stand, 
E
stand by 
A
me, stand by me

A
If the sky that we look upon
F♯m
Should tumble and fall
F♯m
Or 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
F♯m
Just as 
D
long as you 
E
stand, stand by 
A
me

A
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh 
F♯m
stand by me
F♯m
Woa 
D
stand now, 
E
stand by 
A
me, stand by me

A
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh
F♯m
Stand by me, woa 
D
stand now oh 
E
stand, stand by 
A
me
