    Let It Be
    :John Lennon/Paul McCartney}
    

    Wh[G]en I find myself in t[D]imes of trouble,
    

    Mo[Em]ther Mary c[C]omes to me,
    

    Sp[G]eaking words of w[D]isdom, let it [C]be.[G]
    

    [G]And in my hour of da[D]rkness,
    

    She is st[Em]anding right in f[C]ront of me,
    

    Sp[G]eaking words of w[D]isdom, let it [C]be.[G]
    

    

    {c:Chorus:}
    

         Let it [Em]be, let it [D]be, let it [C]be, let it [G]be.
    

       [G]Whisper words of wis[D]dom, let it [C]be.[G]
    

    

    And when the broken hearted people
    

    Living in the world agree,
    

    There will be no answer, let it be.
    

    But though there may be parting,
    

    There is still a chance that they will see,
    

    There will be an answer, let it be.
    

    

    

    c:Chorus:}
    

         Let it [Em]be, let it [D]be, let it [C]be, let it [G]be.
    

         Whisper words of wis[D]dom, let it [C]be.[G]
    

         Let it [Em]be, let it [D]be, let it [C]be, let it [G]be.
    

         Whisper words of wis[D]dom, let it [C]be.[G]
