     F                   C
Hey Jude, don't make it bad,
        C7                   F
Take a sad song and make it better.
   A#                          F
Remember to let her into your heart,
              C7               F
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:
     F7                        A#
     And any time you feel the pain,
                Gm7
     Hey Jude refrain,
                     C7                    F
     Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.
     F7                             A#
     For well you know that it's a fool
                  Gm7
     Who plays it cool
                    C7              F
     Hy making this world a little colder.

     F7    C7
     Da-da-da-da-da-da...

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 shoulder.

              F7    C7
     Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da...

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.

Hetter, better, better, better, better...
