Verse 1: G | Em | C D | G 
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No, I won't be afraid
Oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

RAP

[Chorus]
So darlin', darlin', stand by me / Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand / Stand by me, stand by me

RAP

[Verse 2]
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

RAP

[Chorus]
So darlin', darlin', stand by me / Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand / Stand by me, stand by me

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Woah, just stand now
Oh, stand, stand by me

Ranked #63 in 1961 by Billboard Top 100!
