Chords for Clarence Bekker Talks "Stand By Me" | Playing For Change

Hola, I'm Clarence Milton Becker.
Welcome to Barcelona.
_ One of the cities where ten years ago we started recording Stand [C] By Me.
_ One of the biggest [G] hits of Playing For [C] Change. _ _ _ _ _
Remember Roger Ridley.
Remember _ [F] Grandpa Elliot.
Me, myself, [A] Clarence Milton Becker, I lost my dreads.
In the meanwhile, we brought [C] so many people together with this [Gm] song.
We went through [F] so many countries and we have [B] over 100 million views on YouTube. _
We want to thank you all for standing by us and making great music.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ When the night _ has come _ [Em] _ _ and the land is dark
[C] and the moon [D] is the only [G] light we'll see _ _
_ _ No, I _ won't be afraid
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] Just as long [D] as you stand, [G] stand by me _
So darling, darling, stand by me
_ [Em] Oh, stand by me
_ [C] Oh, stand by _ [D] _
me
Stand by [G] me, stand by me
_ When the sky _ that we look upon
_ [Em] _ _ Should crumble and fall
[C] Or the mountains, [D] they should tumble [G] into the sea _
My baby, I won't cry, I won't cry
No, [Em] I _ won't shed a tear
[C] Just as long [D] as you stand, [G] stand by me _
So darling, darling, _ stand by me
Oh, [Em] _ stand by me
[C] Oh, stand by _ [D] _
_ _ [G] me
Stand by me
So darling, darling, stand by me
Oh, [Em] stand _ by me.
_ [C] Oh, stand by _ [D] _
_ _ [G] me.
Stand by me.
Whenever you're in trouble, God, stand by me.
_ _ [Em] Stand _ by me.
_ [C] _ Stand by me.
[D] _ _ Stand by me.
_ _ _ _ Now, won't you?
_ I said, won't you? _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ Please _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] stand by _ _ me. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _ After the recordings here in Barcelona,
it took Mark two years, actually,
to go around the world and then having to record everybody
and then having to mix everything.
It took him two years.
And suddenly, two years.
At that moment, I was having a dinner party at my house,
of course.
_ And I had 10 of my friends over.
And I had this video for two days lying on _ my _ _ desk.
And we're like, OK, fellas, wait a minute.
We have a video here.
We can all sit together.
So we all sat around the _ _ _ _ computer.
_ And we watched the video.
And we were all silenced.
_ And our mouths were open.
And like, what the is this?
_ _ Everybody was so _ engaged with it.
We were so blown away by it.
And I think the rest of the world as well.
The adventure after the release of Stand By Me
was _ we went _ six tours through America.
We went through a few times through Brazil,
through Argentina.
_ I think we went seven times to Australia.
_ _ _ We did Europe a few times.
_ We saw a whole lot of this planet
together when we made a whole bunch of great friends.
Thank you for meeting you all.
And I'm sending you all love and hope to meet you again very soon.
Thank you.
