Capo on 1st
[Verse 1]
    E                   B7
Hey Jude, don't make it bad
                             E
Take a sad song and make it better
  A                           E
Remember to let her into your heart
             B7                   E
Then you can start to make it better
[Verse 2]
      E            B7
     ()            
Hey Jude, don't be afraid
                            E
You were made to go out and get her
    A                             E
The minute you let her under your skin
          B7                 E     E7
Then you begin to make it better
                          A
And any time you feel the pain
[Chorus]
     A/G#      A/F#
Hey Jude, refrain
          A/E     B7              E         E7
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
                              A
For well you know that it's a fool
     A/G#      A/F#
Who plays it cool
     A/E        B7             E
By making his world a little colder
            E7     B7
Na na na na na na, na na na na
[Verse 3]
    E                 B7
Hey Jude, don't let me down
                               E
You have found her, now go and get her
  A                           E
Remember to let her into your heart
               B7               E    E7
Then you can start to make it better
                         A
So let it out and let it in
[Chorus]
    A/G#     A/F#
Hey Jude, begin
          A/E         B7         E         E7
You're waiting for someone to perform with
                                  A
And don't you know that it's just you
     A/G#         A/F#
Hey Jude, you'll do
       A/E         B7              E
The movement you need is on your shoulder
         E7     B7
Na na na na na, na na na na. Yeah

Take a sad song and make it better
  A                             E
Remember to let her under your skin
              B7               E
Then you'll begin to make it better
Better, better, better, better, better, ahhhhhh!
