Let It Be (Live-in-the-studio outtake)
Author: Paul McCartney; Lead vocal: Paul McCartney

[Are we supposed to giggle in the solo?

Yeah.

OK.

This is gonna knock you out, boy.]

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

And all the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted
There is still a chance for them will see
There will be an answer, let it be
Oh let it be, let it be
Ah let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Yeah let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be yeah

Yeah

Let it be, and let it be
Ah let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be yeah
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Yeah let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Oh let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be yeah
Oh let it be, let it be

[I think that was rather grand.
I'll take one home with me.
Ok, let's track it.
Oh, you bounder, you cheat!]
