Ben E. King - Stand by Me

Originally in A, I play in C capo 4.

Highest note is the 1 (darlin’, DARlin’)

Start with single notes or octaves

Cadd9Am7Fmaj7GCadd9

Vox in on the 6 on “night”

When the Cadd9night has come

Am7And the land is dark

And the moFmaj7on is the onGly light we’ll seeCadd9

No, I Cadd9won’t be afraid

No, I Am7won’t be afraid

Just as loFmaj7ng as you standG, stand by meCadd9

Start to fade the chords in

If the Cadd9sky that we look upon

Am7Should tumble and fall

Or the moFmaj7untain should Gcrumble to the Cadd9sea

I won’t Cadd9cry, I won’t cry

No, I Am7won’t shed a tear

Just as loFmaj7ng as you standG, stand by meCadd9
