Stand By Me

2 3 -3 2 3
When the night has come
1 -1 2 -1 1
And the land is dark
1 -1 2 1 1 2 -1 1 -1 1 1
And the moon is the only light we’ll see
2 3 -3 2 3 -3
No I won’t be afraid,
3 -2 2 -1 1 -1 2 1 -1 1
no——- I— won’t be afraid
1 -1 2 1 1 2 -1 1
Just as long as you stand,
2 -1 1
stand by me

3 -3 3 -4 -4
So darlin’, darlin’,
-3 3 -3 -3 -3
stand– by me,
3 -3 2 -1 1 -1 2 -1 1
oh– stand—— by me
2 -1 1 2 -1 1 2 -1 1
Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me

2 3 -3 2 3 -3 -3 3
If the sky that we look upon
-1 2 2 -1 1
Should tumble and fall
1 -1 2 1 2 -1 1 1 -1 1
Or the mountains should crumble to the sea
2 3 -3 2 3 -3
I won’t cry, I won’t cry,
3 -2 2 -1 1 -1 2 1 -1 1
no——- I— won’t shed a tear
1 -1 2 1 1 2 -1 1 2 -1 1
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

3 -3 3 -4 -4
So darlin’, darlin’,
-3 3 -3 -3 -3
stand– by me,
3 -3 2 -1 1 -1 2 -1 1
oh– stand—— by me
2 -1 1 2 -1 1 2 -1 1
Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me
