 g8 a  c4 c d a  c  c  d  e  f  f  f e  e d  d2   e4  e  f  e  e  d2  
e4  d4 c2
}

harmony = \chordmode {
 r8 r c2 g a:min  f4:maj7    f:6 c2  g     f   c
}

text = \lyricmode {
 When I find my -- self  in times of trou -- ble,
 Moth -- er Ma -- ry comes  to me,
 Speak -- ing words of wis -- dom
 let it be.
}

\score {
