[Verse 1]


[Paul McCartney]

When I find myself in times of trouble

Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, “let it be”


[Boy George]

And in my hour of darkness

She is standing right in front of me


[Keren Woodward and Nick Kamen]

Speaking words of wisdom


[Boy George]

“Let it be”


[Chorus: Boy George and Paul King]

Let it be, let it be

Let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom

Let it be


[Verse 2]


[Mark King and Jaki Graham]

And when the brokenhearted people

Living in the world agree


[Taffy and Mark King]

There will be an answer, let it be


[Andy Bell and Jaki Graham]

For though they may be parted

There is still a chance that they will see


[Pepsi & Shirlie]

There will be an answer, let it be


[Chorus: Mel & Kim, Jaki Graham & Doctor and the Medics]

Let it be, let it be

Let it be, let it be

There will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be

Let it be, let it be

There will be an answer, let it be

(Let it be, whoa-yeah!)


[Guitar Solo: Gary Moore and Mark Knopfler]


[Verse 3]


[Kim Wilde and Nik Kershaw]

And when the night is cloudy

There is still a light that shines on me


[Edwin Starr]

Shines on 'til tomorrow, let it be


[Ben Volpeliere-Pierrot]

Then I wake up to the sound of music

Mother Mary comes to me


[Edwin Starr]

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be, let it be...


[Chorus]


[Kim Wilde, Edwin Starr, and Nik Kershaw]

Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be


[Ruby Turner and Edwin Starr]

Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be

Whisperin' words of wisdom, let it be

Ooh!


[Verse 4: Kate Bush]

When I find myself in times of trouble

Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, “let it be”


[Chorus: Everyone]

Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be

There will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be

There will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be (let it be!)

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be

There will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be let it be

There will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be

There will be an answer, let it be
