***Please Note: Please follow the voicings I've provided above carefully to get the most accurate sound
for this cover.***
***Also Note: Very small detail, but important - The 1 of 43 sound bite for the A6 chord isn't the voicing
you should be using for this song, hence why it sounds off. The voicing which I've provided above
is closer to number 2 of 43, so follow that sound bite for an audio reference.***

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.
