Questions about Let It Be on piano

What key is Let It Be in?

C major. Its four chords — C (I), G (V), Am (vi) and F (IV) — are the classic pop set. There is no capo, so guitar, piano and bass all play these same chords at the same pitch.

Are the piano chords the same as the guitar chords?

Yes. Let It Be is played with no capo in the key of C, so there's no transposition — the piano plays the exact same chords the guitar does: C, G, Am and F. The famous piano part just voices those same chords, often as gentle broken arpeggios.
