Charles Albert Tindley - Stand by me

When the ^Dstorms of life are ^Araging, stand by ^Dme.^{G D} When the ^F#mstorms of life are ^Bmraging, stand by ^Em7me. ^A When the ^Dworld is tossing^F#m me, like a ^Gship upon the ^E7sea, thou who ^Drulest wind and ^Awater, stand by ^Dme.^{G D}

In the midst of tribul^Aation, stand by ^Dme.^{G D} In the ^F#mmidst of tribul^Bmation, stand by ^Em7me. ^A When the ^Dhosts of hell as^F#msail, and my s^Gtrength begins to ^E7fail, thou who ^Dnever lost a ^Abattle, stand by ^Dme.^{G D}

In the midst of faults and ^Afailures, stand by ^Dme.^{G D} In the ^F#mmidst of faults and ^Bmfailures, stand by ^Em7me. ^A When I ^Ddo the best I ^F#mcan, and my ^Gfriends misunders^E7tand, thou who ^Dknowest all a^About me, stand by ^Dme.^{G D}

In the midst of perse^Acution, stand by ^Dme.^{G D} In the ^F#mmidst of persec^Bmution, stand by ^Em7me. ^A When my ^Dfoes in battle a^F#mrray, under^Gtake to stop my ^E7way, thou who ^Dsaved Paul and ^ASilas, stand by ^Dme.^{G D}

When I'm growing old and ^Afeeble, stand by ^Dme.^{G D} When I'm ^F#mgrowing old and ^Bmfeeble, stand by ^Em7me. ^A When my ^Dlife becomes a ^F#mburden, and I'm ^Gnearing chilly J^E7ordan, O thou ^DLily of the ^AValley, stand by ^Dme.^{A D}
