When the night, has come. And the land is dark.

So darlin' darlin' stand by me. Oh stand by me.
D E7 A
Oh stand, stand by, stand by me.

If the sky, that we look upon, should tumble and fall.

D E7 A
just as long as you stand, stand by me

| Just in case someone is inquiring about the meaning, here's my two obvious cents. It's about a relationship enduring great trial or hardship. | |

| Okay, I have the John Lennon Collection CD, and this song is on it, but he does not sing it. It is a Ben E. King song. John produced it, but does that really make it a John Lennon song? Anyway, it's a really beautiful song. | |

| I'm a HUGE Beatles and John Lennon fan. John Lennon is my favorite Beatle. But I just DON"T KNOW the reason why they separated for 15 months!!!!!! | |

| An amazing cover equal to Ben E. King's and Pennywise's version. All three covers of this deadly song are one of my favourites ever if not my favourite. | |

| Although I do like the song, and I think the music is very beautiful, I think John's voice might be a little too rough for the subject matter. The vocals sound weird (not the voice, but the production), so that might contribute to it. Otherwise, it's a standout track. | |

| this is a great cover. i agree with an above comment, this version is far more demanding, something you'd expect from john lennon. john lennon is so brilliant! | |

| Apart from All Along the Watchtower by Jimi Hendrix, this has to be the greatest cover version of all time. So moving to listen to. | |

| This is definately the best version of this I have heard. Maybe it's because its John and he is the awesomeness, but he decided to make a cover of it over the Lost Weekend, and you can definately tell that he and Yoko were apart. | |
