Stand By Me Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

C Am F G C

So here it is then.

Where I wrote the X's I usually just tap the strings with my right hand to resemble the

in Otis' version. It's not required but I find it adds some character to the song. =)

It's the same chords for the chorus as for the verse. Here's the lyrics with the chords

it may or may not be of help to you.

 When the nCight has come Am

And the land is dark

 And the mFoon is the onGly light we'll sCee

 No I wCon't be afraid, no I wAmon't be afraid

 Just as lFong as you stGand, stand Cby me

CAnd darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now sAmtand by me

 Oh now sFtand, G stand by me,C stand by me.

 If the sCky that we look upon Am

Should tumble and fall

 And the moFuntains should crGumble to the sCea

 I won't cCry, I won't cry, no I wAmon't shed a tear

 Just as lFong as you stGand, stand Cby me

CAnd darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now sAmtand by me

 Oh now sFtand, G stand by me,C stand by me.

CWhenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now now stAmand by me

 Oh now sFtand, G stand by me,C stand by me.

CAnd darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now sAmtand by me

 Oh now sFtand, G stand by me,C stand by me.
