Tekst: Lennon/McCartney 1968 - Melodi: Lennon/McCartney 1968
Hey lude, don't make it bad,
take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart.
Then you ean 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 beg in to make it better.
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.
Da da da 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.
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.
Da da da da da da da da da.
Hey Jude ...
Sangen hed oprindelig 'Hey Jules' og var skrevet af Paul McCartney til John Lennons søn Julian for at muntre ham lidt op under forældrenes ægteskabelige stridigheder. På det tidspunkt (1968) var det ganske uhørt at lave så lange popnumre: 'Hey Jude' varer i 7 minutter.
