Stand By Me
Ben E. King, Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller, 1961· Songs Well-Known in America · p.305
G Em
When the night has come - and the land is dark
C D G
And the moon is the only light we'll see
G Em
No, I won't be afraid, no, I won't be afraid
C D G
Just as long as you stand, stand by me. So darlin', darlin'
Chorus:
G Em
stand by me, oh now, stand by me,
C D G
stand by me, - stand by - me.
G Em
If the sky that we look upon - should tumble and fall
C D G
And the mountain should crumble to the sea
Em
I won't cry, I won't cry, no, I won't shed a tear
C D G
Just as long - as you stand, - stand by - me. And darling, darling
(Chorus)
(Solo uses same chord sequence as the first verse)
(Chorus Twice)
