Ill Stand By You Tab

by Pretenders


Artist: The Pretenders
Song: I'll stand by you


This song has a lot of piano in it. I'll try to tab it as best I can hopefully it will sound close enough.


Intro:

      


Verse:

D	     A (not positive about this)
Oh, why look so sad
	     
Tears are in your eyes
                    A - G (slide barred chord)
Come on and come to me now
		    
Don't be ashamed to cry
		
Let me see you through
		        - 
Cause i've seen the darkside too

Bridge:

 		     
When the night falls on you
 		
Don't know what to do
	     
Nothing you confess
	
Can make me love you less


Chorus:
	           		   
I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
			
Won't let nobody hurt you
		
I'll stand by you

Verse:

		     
So if you're mad get mad
		   
Don't hold it all inside
		     - 
Come on and talk to me now
		    
Hey what you got to hide
	     
I get angry too
	     - 
Well I'm alive like you

Bridge:

				
When you're standing at the crossroads
			
Don't know which path to choose
	      
Let me come along
		
Cause even if you're wrong


Chorus (same)

Bridge:

			
And when when the night falls on you baby
	
You're feeling all alone
	
Won't on your own

chorus repeats over and over first 3 then 4 over and over til end.
At 3:10 the riff playing til the end of the song is just the solo
