Otis Redding (9 de setembro de 1941 - 10 de dezembro de 1967) foi um influente cantor estadunidense de soul, conhecido por seu estilo passional e pelo sucesso póstumo "(Sittin' On) the Dock of the Bay". Nascido em Macon, Geórgia, ele começou a trabalhar na indústria musical no começo dos anos 60, gravando "These Arms of Mine", que se tornou um hit. Em seguida vieram "Mr. Pitiful", "I Can't Turn You Loose", "(I Can Get No) Satisfaction" e "Respect".

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stand By Me - Otis Redding (Originally Ben E. King) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: niLse Email: [email protected]
Tuning: standard
If you want to use this tab for playing along you could tune the guitar down 3 steps (to C#).
Otis version uses the Chords: A - F#m - D - E - A But I think it's more comfortable to sing and play it when transcribed to: C - Am - F - G - C
So here it is then. Where I wrote the X's I usually just tap the strings with my right hand to resemble the in Otis' version. It's not required but I find it adds some character to the song. =)
It's the same chords for the chorus as for the verse. Here's the lyrics with the chords it may or may not be of help to you.
[Verse] CAm When the night has come
And the land is dark FGC And the moon is the only light we'll see CAm No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid FGC Just as long as you stand, stand by me
[Chorus] CAm And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me FGC Oh now stand, stand by me, stand by me.
[Verse] CAm If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall FGC And the mountains should crumble to the sea CAm I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear FGC Just as long as you stand, stand by me
CAm And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me FGC Oh now stand, stand by me, stand by me.
[Chorus] CAm Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now now stand by me FGC Oh now stand, stand by me, stand by me.
CAm And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me FGC Oh now stand, stand by me, stand by me.
