Stand By Me / Ben E. King

STAND BY ME :Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

　言わずと知れた映画「スタンド・バイ・ミー」の主題歌です。映画を観たことはなくてもこのイントロと歌い出し、サビには聞き覚えがあるはず。やっぱり耳なじみのある曲には生徒も食いつきます。うんうん。

　オリジナルのBen E. Kingバージョンはリズムも崩してて少し歌いにくいかも。ジョン・レノンバージョンもありますので、そっちも試してみるといいかも。オリジナルに負けないくらいかっこいいです。あ、ＣＭで山崎まさよしが歌ってたのもいいかも。

STAND BY ME / BEN E. KING

When the night has come
and the land is dark
And the moon is the only
light we will 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　　　　　　　　[

Whenever you're in trouble
won't you stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me
