                    Let it Be – The Beatles
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Written by: Lennon/McCartney
From: "Let it Be" (1970)

Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard

My reading here includes the notes that organ, brass and harmonies add to 
the regular chords (especially in the chorus) and an accidental (?) variation 
in the last verse, an extra Dm/A.

I also added tabs for verse, chorus and the two bar link which features 
a Bb (the minor 7th of the C chord) in the bass that is also missing 
from the other versions but which adds to the gospel feel of the song.

as played on piano. I used G6 as a playable alternative that incorporates 
the vocal harmonies in a solo setting.
