(Verse 1)

 

When the storm of life is raging
(choeurs)
Stand by me, Lord 
(Choeurs + guitare)

 

When the storm of life is raging, yeah
(choeurs)
Stand by me
(choeurs + guitare)

 

(Verse 2)

 

When this world
(Choeurs + guitare)
...is tossing me
(choeurs)
Just like a ship (voix de femme se rajoute),
(choeurs)
...oh yeah,
(choeurs)
...out on the sea.
(choeurs)

 

(Verse 3)

 

Lord you're ruling,
(choeurs)

(guitare)
... The winds and the waters 
(choeurs)
Come on 
(choeurs), 
Come on,
Stand by me, lord
(Choeurs)
Stand by me (choeurs seuls)

 

(Verse 4)

 

And when I'm growin,
(choeurs)
One of these days,
I got to get old,
Old and feeble,
(choeurs),
oh Lord,
Stand by Me
(choeurs + guitares)

 

When I'm growing,
(choeurs + guitare)
Growin old and feeble,
(choeurs),
Yeah,
Stand by me
(choeurs + guitare)

 

(Verse 5)

 

And when I'm done,
(choeurs)
Lord,
Done, I can
(choeurs)
Lord, and my friends,
(voix de femme qui se rajoute + choeurs + guitare)
oh yeah, 
Get old, to understand,
(choeurs + guitare)

Yes you do,
You know all about it,

Come on,
Stand by me lord
