Let It Be
Written and performed by: The Beatles

[Verse 1]
C                     G                 Am     Am7  F
When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
C                 G              F  (Hit E note on D string)(Hit D String) C
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
C                 G                Am       Am7      F
And in my hour of darkness, She is standing right in front of me
C                 G              F  (Hit E note on D string)(Hit D String) C
Speaking words of wisdom, Let it be

[Chorus]
Am         G          F          C
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
C                G              F (Hit E note on D string)(Hit D String) C
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

[Verse 2]
C                   G               Am        Am7       F
And when the broken hearted people, Living in the world agree
C                G              F  (Hit E note on D string)(Hit D String) C
There will be an answer, let it be
C                   G               Am        Am7       F
But though they may be parted, There is still a chance that they will see
C                G              F  (Hit E note on D string)(Hit D String) C
There will be an answer, let it be

[Chorus]
Am         G          F          C
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
C                G              F (Hit E note on D string)(Hit D String) C
There will be an answer, let it be
Am         G          F          C
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
C                G              F (Hit E note on D string)(Hit D String) C
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
