repeat for the whole song

If you can’t do bends then here’s the same bass line but without bends
(you can also change between the two and play this in the chorus for
example):

7 7 6 -7 7 7 7 -7 -6 -6 6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 -5 -5 -6 6 6 6 -7 7 7 6 -7 7
7

(some parts of the solo go too high/low for the harmonica so I had to
change it a bit. With this version you still play the same notes just
higher/lower for some parts)

Lyrics

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
So darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me
Stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountain 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
And darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand now, stand by me
Stand by me
Darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me
Whenever you’re in trouble won’t you stand by me
Oh stand by me, oh won’t you stand now, stand
Stand by me…
