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

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

      C              G
And when the broken-hearted people
 Am            F
Living in the world agree,

There will be an answer, let it be.
      C                 G
For though they may be parted
          Am                   F
There is still a chance that they will see,
  C              G               F    Em C
There will be an answer, let it be.

       Am          C          F          C
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

And when the night is cloudy
           Am                 F
There is still a light that shines on me,
  C            G              F    Em C
Shine until tomorrow, let it be.

I wake up to the sound of music
 Am          F
