As for the song...I just repeat the same chord progression over and over.

D Bm G A D


[Verse]

D
When the night has come
Bm
And the land is dark
G A D
And the moon is the only light we'll see
D
No, I won't be afraid,
Bm
No, I won't be afraid
G A D
Just as long as you stand, stand by me.


[Chorus]

D
So, darling, darling, stand by me,
Bm
Oh, stand by me.
G A D
Oh, stand, stand by me,
Stand by me.


[Verse]

If the sea that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble in 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.
