Stand By Me

You can strum it very simply at first, then dress it up with a bass line.

See Chords below.

Stand By Me
by Ben E. King, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller

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,
No 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 stars 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.

So, darling, darling,
Stand by me,
Oh, stand by me.
Oh, stand, stand by me, stand by me.
