[G] [Eb] [F]
[Bb]
When the night has come [Gm] and [G] the land is dark, [Eb] and the moon [F] is the only [Bb] light we've seen,
No, I won't be your friend.
No, no, [Gm] no, no, no, I won't be your friend.
[Eb] Just as long, [F] just as long, just as long as you [Bb] stand by me.
Now, darling, [Bb] when every man in trouble is [Gm] young and sad, I need [G] just a little help in [Eb] here right now.
[F]
And darling, I just [Bb] want you to stand by me.
If the sky [F]
you look upon at [G] night should tumble and fall,
[Eb] all of the mountains [F]
may crumble [Bb] to the sea.
I won't cry, [F] I won't cry.
[Bb] No, [G] no, no, no, no, I won't shed no tears.
[Eb] Just as long, [F]
just as long, just as long [Bb] as you stand by me.
I know, I said
[C] I need [Gm] somebody right now.
I need [Eb] just a little helping hand.
[F]
Need someone to come pick me up and [Bb] let me stand by you.
Come on, come on now, baby.
Yeah, [Gm] now, now, now, now, now, now, baby.
Whoa, whoa.
[Eb]
[F] Come on, come on now, [Bb] stand, stand by me.
And darling, darling, I mean it, I'm all [G] for you, baby.
Stand, stand [Gm] by me.
Come on and [Eb] help me, baby.
[F] I need a little help.
Come on and [Bb] stand right by me.
I'm in trouble, won't you stand?
Come on and stand by me.
Now, now, [Gm] now, now, now, now, baby.
Come on.
[Eb] [F]
