       G              D                Em          C
When I find myself in times of trouble mother Mary comes to me
G                 D              C    G
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

    G             D               Em                C
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
G                 D              C    G
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

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

This is spot on. The retards that said its wrong don’t realize that songs can be played in any key you want. And also get a sense of originality

+12

this isnt so bad but few things "tab 1" should b TAB*1: |------------------------------------------------- |---------------------------------------------- |---------------------------------------------- |---------------------------------------------- A--------------2----0------------------------- E--------------------------------------------- cuz the C chord just b4 "tab 1" is the 3 on the a string then after this play a G chord sounds good if you dont get it hit me up

I think tab 1* should be played like: TAB*1: e|----------------------------------------------------------- B|----------------------------------------------------------- G|----------------------------------------------------------- D|----------------------------------------------------------- A|--------------2----0-------------------------------------- E|------------------------3-----------------------------------
