Stand By Me

Stand By Me
By Ben King, Jerry Leiber, and Mike Stoller

This is my uke version. The chord progression is a straight C Am F G. When playing on my tenor uke with a low G I can work in the step down from G to Am

C Am F G
         C
When the night has come
        Am
And the land is dark
        F           G                C
And the moon is the only light we'll see
     C                     Am
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
        F           G               C
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
   C                 C               Am
So darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
   F            G          C
Oh stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me

Oh stand now by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh, stand now by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me
