Verse

D A A7 Asus4* A D*
Hey Jude, don’t make it bad, take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart, then you can start to make it better
Hey Jude, don’t be afraid, you were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin, then you begin to make it better

Chorus

And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain, don’t carry the world upon your shoulders
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool by making his world a little colder

Interlude

Da da da da da da da da

Verse

Hey Jude, don’t let me down, you have found her, now go and get her
Remember to let her into your heart, then you can start to make it better

Chorus

So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin, you're waiting for someone to perform with
And don’t you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do, the movement you need is on your shoulders

Interlude

Da da da da da da da da

Verse

Hey Jude, don’t make it bad, take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her under your skin, then you begin to make it better
