When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

 

 

      G              D             Em                C

And when the broken-hearted people    living in the world agree

  G                  D             C    G

There will be an answer, let it be

      G                  D               Em                 C

For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see

  G                  D             C    G

There will be an answer, let it be
