Stand By Me – Ben E. King

When the…
Repeat this bassline throughout full song.	

When the
	A
night	has come,
	F♯m
and
	the land is dark,	
and the
	D
moon	is the
	E
only light we’ll
	Asee.	
No, I
	A
won’t be afraid.	
Oh, I
	F♯m
won’t	be afraid.	
Just as
	D
long	as you
	E
stand,	stand by
	Ame.	
So
	darling, darling…

A
Stand	by me.	
Oh,
	F♯m
stand	by me.	
Whoa,
	D
stand,	E
stand by me,
	A
stand by me.

If the
	A
sky	that we look upon
	F♯m
should
	tumble and fall,	
or the
	D
mountains should
	E
crumble to the
	Asea.	
I won’t
	A
cry,	I won’t cry.	
No, I won’t
	F♯m
shed a tear.	
Just as
	D
long	as you
	E
stand,	stand by
	Ame.	
And
	darling, darling…

A
Stand	by me.	
Oh,
	F♯m
stand	by me.	
Whoa,
	D
stand	now,
	E
stand by me,
	A
stand by me.
