What an absolute banger this Stand By Me cover by Brit pop tribute band Britpop Reunion is. Everyone loving every moment of it, singing along, dancing….. like they’re back in the 90s indie disco once again. Liam Gallagher bucket hats on, Liam sunglasses on. Everyone reviling in the moment….Not one mobile phone in site. This Oasis classic was released in September 1997 and reached number 2. This was due to the single that was released on account of the tragic death of Diana, Princess of Wales. That single was by Elton John and it was ‘Something About The Way You Look / Candle In The Wind ’97 (Reworded…Goodbye Englands Rose). Stand By Me the single was the second released from Oasis 3rd album ‘Be Here Now’. You too can hire a britpop tribute band by contacting band leader Andy.

V1: G B7 C C/B D
Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday
I’ve got a lot of things to learn
Said I would and I’ll be leaving one day
Before my heart starts to burn
Bridge 1: C D G G/F# Em A7 C D D
So what’s the matter with you?
Sing me something new… Don’t you know
The cold and wind and rain don’t know
They only seem to come and go away
V2: G B7 C C/B D
Times are hard when things have got no meaning
I’ve found the key upon the floor
Maybe you and I will not believe in
The things we find behind the door
Bridge 2: C D G G/F# Em A7 C D D
Chorus 1: G D Am C F D G x 3 – G D Am Am C D G
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it’s gonna be
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it’s gonna be
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it’s gonna be
Stand by me, nobody knows
Yeah nobody knows, the way it’s gonna be
V3: G B7 C C/B D
If you’re leaving will you take me with you?
I’m tired of talking on my phone
There is one thing I can never give you
My heart will never be your home
