This document contains the lyrics to the song "Stand By Me" by Ben E. King. The song describes relying on a loved one for support and comfort during difficult times, asking them to "stand by me" if the sky falls or mountains crumble, and whenever one is in trouble. It expresses the sentiment that as long as they stand together, the singer won't be afraid or cry.

1. this song is very easy to play
G Em
When the night has come and the land is dark
C D G
and the moon is the only light to see
G Em
No I won't be afraid No I..I won't be afraid
C D G
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
G
Darling Darling Stand, By Me
Em
Oh Oh,Stand by me
C D G
Stand, Stand by me, Stand by me
If the Sky that we look upon should tumble and fall
and the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry I won't cry No I..I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand by me stand by me
Darling Darling Stand By Me
Oh Stand by me
Stand by me
Stand by me
Whenever your in trouble won't you stand by me
Oh now now stand by me oh stand by me stand by me
Darling Darling Stand By Me
Oh Stand by me
Stand by me
Stand by me

1. I can tell by your eyes,
G C
that you've probably been crying forever.
Dm G
And the stars in the sky don't mean nothing,
C - C7
to you they're a mirror.
F G C Em Am
I don't wanna talk about it, how you broke my heart.
F G
If I stay here just a little bit longer,
F G
if I stay here won't you listen - -
Dm - G C
to my heart, oh my heart.
C Dm
2. If I stand all alone,
G C
will the shadows hide the colours of my heart.
Blue for the tears, black for the night's fears
Dm G
The stars in the sky don't mean nothing,
C - C7
to you they're a mirror.
F G C Em Am
I don't wanna talk about it, how you broke my heart.
F G
If I stay here just a little bit longer,
F G
if I stay here won't you listen - -
Dm - G C
to my heart, oh my heart.
