When the night has come
 4  -4    5  -4  4
And the land is dark
 4  -4   5    4  5  -4 4  -4    -4    4
And the moon is the only light we'll see
5  6   -6   5  6 -6   5 -5   5   5  -4  4 
Oh I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

Should tumble and fall
  4 -4    5   4      5    -4  4  -4 4  -4   4
And the mountains should crumble in 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
