| When the | night has come, | and the land is dark |
| Eb | F | Bb | |
| and the | moon is the | only light we'll | see |
| Bb | Gm | |
| no I | won't be afraid, no I | Won't be afraid, |
| Eb | F | Bb | |
| just as | long as you | stand , stand by | . |
| refrain |
| Bb | Gm | |
| So, darling, darling, | stand by me, oh, | stand by me. |
| Eb | F | Bb | |
| Oh, | stand, | stand by me, | stand by me. |
| Bb | Gm | |
| if the | sky that we look upon | should timble and fall, |
| Eb | F | Bb | |
| or the | Mountain should | crumble in the | sea. |
| Bb | Gm | |
| I | won't cry, I won't cry, no I | won't shed a tear, |
| Eb | F | Bb | |
| just as | long as you | stand , stand by | . |
| refrain |
| Bb | Gm | |
| So, darling, darling, | stand by me, oh, | stand by me. |
| Eb | F | Bb | |
| Oh, | stand, | stand by me, | stand by me. |
