      The problem is that your self taught. You have control of both bass and melody. Not hard.

    This is one of my favorite songs, it brings back memories of high school after moving to the city. I was so shy and scared of people but the guitar class I took helped me so much. I played this song in front of my class which was the first time I was able to overcome my fears, I cried afterwards because of how supportive my whole class had been (I couldn't sing the lyrics - which we were suppose to do while playing - but the whole class (teacher included) started singing it as I played).
    It's literally one of my most favorite memories....
    I guess you could say they stood by me XD

    And the land is dark
    And the moon is the only light we'll see
    No, I won't be afraid
    No, 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 mountains 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
    And darlin', darlin', stand by me
