VERSE 1:
When the [C#] night has come, [A#m] and the land is dark
And the [F#] moon is the [G#] only light to [C#] see
No I [C#] won't be afraid, no I [A#m] won't be afraid
Just as [F#] long as you [G#] stand... stand by [C#] me

If the [C#] sky that we look upon, [A#m] should tumble and fall
Or the [F#] mountains should [G#] crumble to the [C#] sea
I won't [C#] cry, I won't cry, No I [A#m] won't shed a tear
Just as [F#] long as you [G#] stand by me, stand by [C#] me
