STAND BY ME by Ben E King
INTRO 8 BARS
VERSE
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No I won’t be afraid
No I won’t be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
CHORUS
So darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh stand, Stand by me, stand by me
VERSE
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountain 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
CHORUS
And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
SOLO 16 BARS
CHORUS
And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
CHORUS
Whenever you’re in trouble won’t ya stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
