C Am [Verse]
DmGC Oh yeah! Oh my darlin' Stand by me!
CAm No matter who your are, no matter where you go in life
DmGC You gon need somebody, to stand by you.
CAm No matter how much money you got, or the friends you got,
DmGC You gon need somebody, to stand by you
 [Chorus]
CAm When the night has come, and the way is dark,
DmGC And that moon is the only light you see.
CAm No I won't be afraid, no I-I-I won't be afraid
DmGC Just as long as the people come and stand by me.
CAm Darlin' darlin' stand by me, Ooo stand by me Oh stand
DmGC Stand stand by me C'mon stand by me stand by me
