"Let It Be" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles, released on 6 March 1970 as a single, and (in an alternative mix) as the title track of their album Let It Be. It was written and sung by Paul McCartney, and credited to the Lennon?McCartney partnership. The single version of the song, produced by George Martin, features a softer guitar solo and the orchestral section mixed low, compared to the album version, produced by Phil Spector, featuring a more-aggressive guitar solo and the orchestral sections mixed higher.

At the time, it had the highest debut on the Billboard Hot 100, beginning its chart run at number 6 and eventually reaching the top. It was the Beatles' final single before McCartney announced his departure from the band. Both the Let It Be album and the US single "The Long and Winding Road" were released after McCartney's announced departure from and the subsequent break-up of the group.

With this sheet music, you can play "Yesterday" by The Beatles on piano!

It's a beautiful piano ballad arrangement with an intermediate difficulty level.

The full melody is included in the piano part, so it makes for a perfect instrumental (piano solo) cover.

Written by Paul McCartney (and officially credited to Lennon?McCartney), "Yesterday" was included on the Beatles' 1965 album "Help!" in the UK, and on their 1966 album "Yesterday and Today" in the US.

The melancholic ballad became one of their biggest hits, topped the charts in the US, and was later inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

In 1999, it was voted the best song of the 20th century in a BBC poll, and the No. 1 pop song of all time by both MTV and the Rolling Stone magazine in 2000.

It's also one of the most covered songs ever written, with over 2,000 recorded cover versions.

Time for you to play it, too!

Here are the full lyrics to "Yesterday" by the Beatles:

Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly
I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly

Why she had to go
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Why she had to go
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Let It Be is one of my favourite songs from the Beatles. John Lennon and Paul McCartney are credited as the singer/songwriters of this beautiful ballad.

I watched the movie "Yesterday" featuring so many of the Beatles iconic songs and had this song running through my head for days afterwards. Sitting down at the piano, this arrangement came to me in a few hours. I scribbled madly to get it all down and then was discouraged when I found out that the Beatles' collection of music was NOT in our catalog of arrangeable songs! (Normally I check before I write!)

I contacted SMP Press to ask if it would be difficult to try to obtain the copyrights from Sir Paul! I was excited to see his music included in our catalog a few months later! I put the video up as a piano cover on YouTube and got a few requests for the sheet music. So glad to be able to make it available now.

This year, I've been arranging songs that I consider to be important. The popular ballad's longevity is a testament to it's importance in songwriting history.

My arrangement is written in 4/4 time, with left hand that provides the accompaniment. This is an expressive piano solo, and is a challenge to intermediate and early advanced players. The arrangement has four-note chords, some octave work, and an area where there are bass leaps in the left hand. Legato pedalling should be used throughout, with attention to careful fingering to ensure that the melody is played smoothly and expressively. The piano solo can be used as a recital piece, a solo in many different arenas or for your own private enjoyment.

If you like this arrangement, please check out my other piano solos on my publisher page. You can also check out my YouTube channel "the-piano-studio.com", or my website at www.the-piano-studio.com.

It is one of the most famous and popular Beatles song.
I arranged it into fingerstyle guitar music, adding an improvisation section.

You can watch a sample video on You Tube.

I hope you will enjoy playing it.

Let It Be was one of the Beatles last recordings, released in 1970 when Paul McCartney had already announced his departure from the band. This version of Let it Be is arranged as a duet for one Violin and one Cello, and includes a short transcription of George Harrison?s guitar solo. The full YouTube performance above is from the Clarinet version of this arrangement.

Musicians at an intermediate level will find this ideal for formal and informal concert performances, with both parts enjoying plenty of melodic interest. The overall performance time is around three minutes.

Teachers will enjoy using this arrangement as a fun way to help with ensemble skills and expressive playing.
