Here’s a great lesson on playing one of my favorite song, ‘Hey Jude’ by one of my favorite guitar teachers, Marty Schwartz.

“Let It Be” is widely considered to be one of the greatest songs of all time. In 2004, it was ranked number 20 on Rolling Stone‘s list of “The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time“.

Despite the fact that it’s so amazing, it’s also a very easy song to play on the guitar. If you’re just getting started or simply looking for tunes to fill out your repertoire, this is a great lesson for you.

As usual Marty does a great job keeping it simple here while explaining how to play the different parts of the song. He also has a few run ins with his Looper pedal that you won’t want to miss. Dude cracks me up.

Let It Be | Lyrics & Chords

The Beatles

		       C              G                 Am          F
		When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
                C                 G              F F  C/E C
		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

		Am         G          F          C
		Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
		G                C              F F  C/E C
		Whisper words of wisdom, let it be


		And when the broken hearted people, Living in the world agree

		There will be an answer, let it be


		But though they may be parted, There is still a chance that they may see

		There will be an answer, let it be


	CHORUS:	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
	   |
	   |	Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
				
		LEAD

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

		Whisper words of wisdom, let it be


		And when the night is cloudy, 
	
		There is still a light that shines on me

		Shine on till tomorrow, let it be


		I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me

		Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

		CHORUS
