Let It Be β Classic Piano Sheet Music
181 people have learned this song
Read "Let It Be" by The Beatles in classic piano notation β both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of G. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 63 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with five essential chords β G, Em, C, D, and D7 β and at 63 BPM you have plenty of breathing room to place each one cleanly.
Your left hand plays block-style bass notes, so focus on landing them right on the beat with a steady, unhurried pulse; resist the urge to rush through the calm sections.
The transition to watch most carefully is moving between C and D7 β your fingers will want to fumble that shift, so isolate it and loop it slowly until the shape change feels automatic.
Start hands-separate: get your right hand melody smooth and singing first, then layer in the left hand once the rhythm feels natural.
When you put hands together, count evenly and let the peaceful mood guide your touch β play softer than you think you need to.
This is the song that will lock in your IβIVβVβvi chord vocabulary in the key of G, a pattern you'll use in hundreds of songs from here on out.

- What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?

- Why can I click a note in the score?
- Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
- Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
