Hey Jude Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Hey Jude, don't be afraid
You were made, made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you'll begin to make it better
[Refrain]
And any time you feel the pain
Hey Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulder
For you know that it's a fool
Who plays it cool
By making the world a little bit colder
[Verse 3]
Hey Jude, don't let me down
You have found her, now go on out and get her
But remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
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
[Verse 2]
Hey Jude, don't be afraid
You were made, made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you'll begin to make it better
[Refrain]
And any time you feel the pain
Hey Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulder
For you know that it's a fool
Who plays it cool
By making the world a little bit colder
[Verse 3]
Hey Jude, don't let me down
You have found her, now go on out and get her
But remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
[Refrain]
So let it out and let it in
Hey Jude, begin
You waited for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you
Hey Jude, you'll do
The movements you need is on your shoulder
[Verse 4]
Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Just remember to let her under your skin
Then you'll begin to make it better
[Outro/Guitar Solo]
Ow! Ow! Hey Jude! Ow!
Hey, hey! Yeah! It's gonna be alright!
Hey, Jude, Jude, you'll be alright
Hey hey hey hey
You'll be right Jude
Hey, hey, it's got-ta, it's got-ta, it's got-ta
Yeah, Hey Jude!
So let it out and let it in
Hey Jude, begin
You waited for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you
Hey Jude, you'll do
The movements you need is on your shoulder
[Verse 4]
Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Just remember to let her under your skin
Then you'll begin to make it better
[Outro/Guitar Solo]
Ow! Ow! Hey Jude! Ow!
Hey, hey! Yeah! It's gonna be alright!
Hey, Jude, Jude, you'll be alright
Hey hey hey hey
You'll be right Jude
Hey, hey, it's got-ta, it's got-ta, it's got-ta
Yeah, Hey Jude!
About
Genius Annotation
Wilson Pickett’s recording of The Beatles' “Hey Jude” was released as a single in December 1968 and also appeared the following year on Pickett’s album of the same name. Though only a minor hit in the US on its release (#23 Pop/#13 R&B), it has since become famous for featuring some blistering guitar work by a young Duane Allman, who in the years before founding the Allman Brothers Band was the primary session guitarist at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, where the track was recorded. Allman isn’t the only star of the show, of course; the Wicked Pickett himself screams his heart out on this one.
