[Verse 1 John Legend]
           G6
When the night has come

Em
  And the land is dark

        Cadd9       Dsus2                G6
And the moon is the only light we'll see
[Verse 2 Sam Smith]
       G6
No, I won't be afraid,

   Em
I won't be afraid

        Cadd9       Dsus2             G6
Just as long as you stand, stand by me.
[Chorus John Legend & Sam Smith]
                        G6
Oh, darling, darling, stand by me,

     Em
Oh, stand by me.

    Cadd9  Dsus2
Oh, stand, stand by me,

G
  Stand by me.
[Verse 3 John Legend]
       G6
If the sky that we look upon

Em
Should tumble and fall

        Cadd9           Dsus2          G6
Or the mountain should crumble in the sea,
[Verse 4 Sam Smith]
         G6
I won't cry, I won't cry,

Em
  I won't shed a tear

        Cadd9       Dsus2             G6
Just as long as you stand, stand by me.
[Chorus John Legend & Sam Smith]
                       G6
So, darling, darling, stand by me,

     Em
Oh, stand by me.

    Cadd9  Dsus2
Oh, stand, stand by me,

G
  Stand by me.
[Instrumental]
|: G  Em  Cadd9  Dsus2  G  G6 |
     Ohhhh
[Chorus John Legend & Sam Smith]
 G6
Stand by me,

     Em
Oh, stand by me. (Oh, stand by me)

Cadd9        Dsus2
Stand by me, stand by me

  G
Stand by me.
[Outro John Legend & Sam Smith]
                                       G
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me,

     Em
Oh, stand by me (Oh, stand by me)

Cadd9        Dsus2
Stand by me, stand by me (me)

  G
Stand by me. (Stand by me)
