This is differnt from the crd-file found on Olga in the ben_e_king

subdirectory

not only for the fact, that it's in chordpro format. It describes

exactly

the way how Willy DeVille did it.

{c: Intro, played by bass and the crrrrrrch}

/++++/++++[Em]/++++/++++[C]/++++[D]/++++[G]/++++/++++

When the night has come

And the land is dark

And the [C]moon is the [D]only light we'll [G]see

No, I won't be afraid,

No, I won't be afraid

Just as long, Just as long as you stand by me.

{c: + drum with rim shot and muted guitar, on ...sky}

If the sky that we look upon

Should tumble and fall

And 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, Just as long as you stand by me.

{soc:}

{c: 2nd guitar played chords, drum plays snare on every 2nd}

So, darling, darling, stand by me,

Oh! stand, oh darling won't you stand now

Stand by me.

{eoc:}

{c: Repeat Verse 1 and 2, drum plays the snare on every 4th}

{c: Repeadt Verse 2 and 3, drum plays rim shot}

{c: CHORUS}

{c: Full instrumentation, as in Chorus + Hammond organ}

When all your friends they have gone

You just stand by me

Oh darling, won't you stand now, stand by me.

{c: Don't forget to stay on G, Markus!}

When ever you're in trouble

You just stand, ohh stand.

Won't you stand, won't you stand, won't you stand....

Stand by me...
