G (2) Em (2)
When the night has come and the land is dark
C (1) D7 (1) G (2)
and the moon is the only light to see

No I won't be afraid No I..I won't be afraid
C (1) D7 (1) G (2)
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

Oh Stand, Stand by me, Stand by me
verse 2
G Em
If the Sky that we look upon should tumble and fall
C D7 G
or the mountains should crumble to the sea
G Em
I won't cry I won't cry No I..I won't shed a tear
C D7 G
Just as long as you stand by me stand by me
