About Hey Jude#
Paul McCartney wrote “Hey Jude” in 1968, and the Beatles put it out that summer as a single. He has said it started as “Hey Jules,” a song of comfort for John Lennon’s young son Julian during his parents’ divorce, before he softened the name to sing better. At over seven minutes, with its long singalong fade-out, it was strikingly long for a hit of its day.
Our tab covers the opening verse, which is the most approachable part for a beginner. It moves between the low and middle register and reaches a single C sharp near the top; that is the one note to place carefully on a 6-hole instrument. Keep the pace relaxed and let the phrases breathe.
