Stand By Me
Intro (0:00)
Verse 1 (0:15)
When the night has come, And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No, I won't be afraid, No, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me, So, darling, darling,
Chorus (0:48)
Stand by me, Oh, stand by me.
Oh, stand, stand by me, Stand by me.
Verse 2 (1:03)
If the sky that we look upon, Should tumble and fall
Or the mountain 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, darling, darling,
Chorus (1:37)
Stand by me, Oh, stand by me.
Oh, stand, stand by me, Stand by me.
Instrumental (1:53)
. Darling, darling
Chorus (2:25)
Stand by me, Oh, stand by me.
Oh, stand, stand by me, Stand by me, Whenever your in trouble wont you
Stand by me, Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand, stand by me, Stand by me.
Beautiful Girls
Chorus (0:02)
You're way too beautiful girl; That's why it will never work
You had me suicidal, suicidal; When you say it's over
Damn all these beautiful girls; They only wanna do you dirt
They'll have you suicidal suicidal; When they say it's over
Verse 1 (0:32)
See it started at the park, used to chill after dark
Oh, when you took my heart, that's when we fell apart
Cuz we both thought, that love could last forever (last forever)
They say we're too young, to get ourselves sprung
Oh we didn't care, we made it very clear
And they also said, that we couldn't last together (last together)
See it's very define, you're one of a kind
But you're much on my mind, you often get declined
Oh lord my baby you're driving me crazy
Chorus (1:16)
You're way too beautiful girl; That's why it will never work
You had me suicidal, suicidal; When you say it's over
Damn all these beautiful girls; They only wanna do you dirt
They'll have you suicidal suicidal; When they say it's over
Verse 2 (1:46)
It was back in 99, watching movies all the time
Oh when I went away for doing my first crime
And I never thought, that we was gonna see each other (see each other)
And then I came out, mommy move me down south
Oh I with my girl who I thought was my world
It came out to me, that she wasn't the girl for me (girl for me)
See it's very define, you're one of a kind
But you're much on my mind, you often get decline
Oh lord my baby you're driving me crazy
Chorus (2:29)
You're way too beautiful girl; That's why it will never work
You had me suicidal, suicidal; When you say it's over
Damn all these beautiful girls; They only wanna do you dirt
They'll have you suicidal suicidal; When they say it's over
Verse 3 (3:00)
Now we are fussing and now we are fighting
Please tell me why, I'm feeling slighted
And I don't know, how to make it better (make it better)
You're dating other guys, you're telling me lies
Oh I can't believe what I'm seeing with my eyes
I'm losing my mind, and I don't think it's clever (think its clever)
Chorus (3:28)
You're way too beautiful girl; That's why it will never work
You had me suicidal, suicidal, suicidal, suicidal
Enjoy
James from Handsome Alvin
Wow, I can play it now (on the keyboard - but I cheated and used the "Midi/Transpose" button = +2 to get it to sound the same).
Using "G" as the Tonic, the progression here seems to be:
G, G, Em, Em, C, D, G, G = 1, 1, 6, 6, 4, 5, 1, 1 and sounds very nice!
Great vid m8! Please post some more popular songs!
