If you're playing it on guitar and want to play it an octave lower
then you'll have to use Drop-D tuning. (DADGBE)
Then you can play it like this:
A F#m D
E|------------------------------------------------------
B|------------------------------------------------------
G|------------------------------------------------------
D|------------------------------------------------------
A|------------------------------------------------------
D|-2-6-7--7---2-6-7--7----7-6-4--4---2-4--4---4-2-0--0--
E A

OK, now you have the bassline. The chord progression through
the whole song is A F#m D E A.

VERSE 2:
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
CHORUS:
And darling, darling, stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Whoh, stand now
stand by me
stand by me
