When the night

No I won’t

stand by (A)me.
And ev er you’re in trou ble won’t you (A)stand
by me, oh now, now,
stand
by me.
Stand by me,
stand by me.
If the sky
that we up on
should tum ble and fall
and the (D)moun tain.
should the (E)crum ble

I won’t cry,
I won’t cry,
no I
won’t
shed a tear
just as (D)long
as you stand
stand by (A)me.
And ev er you’re in trou ble won’t you (A)stand
by me, oh now, now,
stand
by me.
Stand by me,
stand by me.
If the sky
And dar ling dar ling (A)stand
by me, oh now, now,
stand

Stand by me,

And dar ling dar ling (A)stand
by me, oh now, now,
stand

Stand by me,
