        C              G
When I find myself in times of trouble
 Am          F  
Mother Mary comes to me
  C                G              F   C
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
                   G
And in my hour of darkness
         Am                F
She is standing right in front of me
  C                G              F   C
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
        Am         G          F          C
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
                  G              F   C
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

                     G
And when the broken hearted people
 Am            F  
Living in the world agree,
  C               G              F   C
There will be an answer, let it be.
                        G
For though they may be parted there is
 Am                   F  
Still a chance that they will see
  C               G              F   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   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.
                  G              F   C
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

                        G
And when the night is cloudy,
           Am                 F  
There is still a light that shines on me,
  C               G              F   C
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
                   G
I wake up to the sound of music
 Am          F  
Mother Mary comes to me
  C                G              F   C
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
        Am         G          F          C
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
  C               G              F   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        C
And there will be no sadness, let it be.
