Hey Jude : Easy Version
 
This is actually from the Across The Universe Soundtrack
sung by Joe Anderson. So it's in a different key but I hope some
novice players find it useful.

[Verse]
     D                     A
Hey Jude    don’t make it bad      
        A7                      D
Take a sad   song  and make it better
   G                           D
Remember to let her into your heart 
                   A7                D
And then you can start to make it better
 
     D                 A
Hey Jude    don’t be afraid
          A7                     D
You were made    to  go out and get her
     G                           D
The minute you let her under your skin
            A7                D   D7
Then you begin to make it better
 
 
[Chorus]
                         G        G/F#     Em7
And anytime you feel the pain hey Jude  refrain
                 A7              D          D7
Don’t carry the world upon your shoulder 
                              G        G/F#     Em7
For well you know that it’s a fool who plays it cool
               A7              D
By making his world  a little colder

You have found  her now go and get her
   G                          D
Remember to let her into you heart 
              A7                 D
Then you can start to make it better

Thanks. Awesome movie. I noticed this version was done in a different key (Key of Eb if I'm not mistaken) and I thought it was much easier than the original version. I hope more people find it useful as well.
