Learn how to play Stand By Me by Ben E. King with easy piano letter notes sheet music for beginners, suitable to play on Piano, Keyboard, Flute, Guitar, Cello, Violin, Clarinet, Trumpet, Saxophone, Viola and any other similar instruments you need easy letters notes chords for.

Quick guide on how to read the letter notes

how to read and play the letter notes
Each group of letter notes is played from left to right, and vertical letters on the same column are played together.

The numbers in front of each line are the octave, each octave has an unique color so you can easily follow them.

Lowercase (a b c d e f g) letters are natural notes (white keys, a.k.a A B C D E F G ).
Uppercase (A C D F G) letters are the sharp notes (black keys a.k.a. A# C# D# F# G#), look at the image below to see where each letter note is on the piano keyboard.

The lines / dashes (-) between letters indicates timing to play the notes. Just listen to the audio file at the top of the post to figure out the time lenght of the dashes (usually 5-6 dashes is about 1 second)

RH / LH means Right Hand / Left Hand and it's mostly for people who play the piano, it tells them with what hand to play the lines. Also, if you want to play a easy version of the song, playing only the RH lines does exactly that, because on most songs RH notes are for melody and LH notes are for bass.

  1. 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
    Oh, I won't be afraid
    Just as long as you stand
    Stand by me

    So darlin', darlin'
    Stand by me, oh, stand by me
    Oh, stand, stand by me
    Stand by me

    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 darlin', darlin'
    Stand by me, oh, stand by me
    Oh, stand now, stand by me
    Stand by me

    Darlin', darlin'
    Stand by me, oh, stand by me
    Oh, stand now, stand by me
    Stand by me
    Whenever you're in trouble
    Won't you stand by me?
    Oh, stand by me
    Won't you stand now?
    Oh, stand, stand by me
