This is the famous song Let it Be, by the Beatles.
Paul McCartney sang and played bass and piano, and
George did the lead. Ringo did the drums. I don't
know what John played.

Here is a transcription of the solo in another version of Let It Be.
I'm not exactly sure which album this version is off of.

Note the beat placement, which is just an approximation,
but as far as timing goes, it's obviously completely off so you're on
you're on.

(Begins approx 1:58, after organs)
