Otis version uses the Chords: A - F#m - D - E - A

It's the same chords for the chorus as for the verse. Here's the lyrics with the chords
it may or may not be of help to you.
C Am
When the night has come
And the land is dark
F G C
And the moon is the only light we'll see
C Am
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
F G C
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
C Am
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me
F G C
Oh now stand, stand by me, stand by me.
C Am
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
F G C
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
C Am
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
F G C
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
C Am
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me
F G C
Oh now stand, stand by me, stand by me.
C Am
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now now stand by me
F G C
Oh now stand, stand by me, stand by me.
C Am
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me
F G C
Oh now stand, stand by me, stand by me.
