Ben E King - Stand By Me Chords

[intro]
A  F#m  D  E  A

[verse 1]
             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
No, I won't be afraid,
      F#m
No, I won't be afraid
            D            E        A
Just as long as you stand, stand by me.

[chorus]
                      A
So, darling, darling, stand by me,
    F#m
Oh, stand by me.
    D     E
Oh, stand, stand by me,
A
 Stand by me.

[verse 2]
         A
If the sky that we look upon
F#m
 Should tumble and fall
            D         E                 A
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea,
          A
I won't cry, I won't cry,
      F#m
No, I won't shed a tear
            D            E        A
Just as long as you stand, stand by me.

[chorus]
                      A
And darling, darling, stand by me,
    F#m
Oh, stand by me.
     D        E
Oh, stand now, stand by me,
A
Stand by me.

     D               E
Oh, stand now, stand by me,

Stand by me.

Whenever you're in trouble won't you
A                 F#m
stand by me, oh, stand by me
     D              E
Oh, stand now, oh, stand
