Hey Jude 4/4 : strum down 8 times per bar
|G | |D | | | |G
Hey Jude, don't make it bad Take a sad song and make it better
|C | |G | |D | |G
Remember to let her into your heart Then you can start to make it better
| | |D | | | |G |
Hey Jude, don't be afraid You were made to go out and get her
|C | |G | |D | |G |
The minute you let her under your skin Then you begin to make it better
| | |C | / |
And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain
| |D | |G | |
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
| |C | / |
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
| |D | |G |
By making his world a little colder
| | D | | |
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
| G etc….
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
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah yeah
Hey Jude, don't make it bad

Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her under your skin
Then you'll begin to make it
Better better better better better better, oh
| |_ | _ |G |
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah, hey Jude (repeat and fade)

My Opening Farewell
Jackson Browne
Tuning: DADGBD D G/D D* Em/D D
There's a train every day, leaving either way
E/D Em/D D C/D
D* D* E/D E/D Em/D Em/D D C/D There's a world you know, there's a way to go
G A Bm A
G A Bm A G G D Em/D And you'll soon be gone, it's just as well
G G
D E/D Em/D D This is my opening farewell
A lady stands before an open window, D C/D G A Bm A G G
G/D D* E/D Em/D
staring so far away. D* E/D Em/D D
D E/D Em/D D A child's drawing left there on the table
She can almost feel the southern wind blow, G/D D* E/D Em/D
G/D D* Em/D D and a woman's silk lying on the floor
almost touching her restless day. D E/D Em/D D
I would keep them here if I were able
A7sus4 A7add13 G D6 G/D D* Em/D D
She turns from her window to me to lock her safe behind this open door
G F#m A7sus4 A7sus4
sad smile her apology A7sus4 A7add13 G D6
A7 G Gsus4 Suddenly it's so clear to me,
Sad eyes reaching to the door. G F#m A7sus4 A7
that I asked her to see what she may never see
D E/D Em/D D G F#m A7sus4 A7
Daylight loses to another evening, And now my kind words find there way back to me
G/D D* E/D Em/D
and still she spares me the word goodbye. D G/D D* Em/D D
D E/D Em/D D There's a train everyday, leaving either way
she sits alone beside me fighting her feelings, E/D Em/D D C/D
G/D D* Em/D D There's a world you know, You gotta ways to go
struggles to speak but in the end can only cry. G A Bm A
And I'll soon believe that it's just as well
A7sus4 A7add13 G D6 G G
Suddenly it's so hard to find This is my opening farewell
G F#m A7sus4 A7
The sound of the words to speak her troubled mind D* D* E/D E/D Em/D Em/D D
G F#m A7sus4 A7
So I'm offering these to her as if to be kind

The wind is in from Africa, last night I couldn't sleep
D A E
Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here, Carey, but it's really not my home
A E
My fingernails are filthy, I got beach tar on my feet
D A E
And I miss my clean white linen and my fancy French cologne
Chorus
A
Oh, Carey, get out your cane
D E
And I'll put on some silver
D E A
Oh you're a mean old daddy, but I like you
Come on down to the Mermaid Cafe and I will buy you a bottle of wine
And well laugh and toast to nothing and smash our empty glasses down
Lets have a round for these freaks and these soldiers, a round for these friends of mine
Let's have another round for the bright red devil who keeps me in this tourist town
Chorus
Maybe I'll go to Amsterdam or maybe I'll go to Rome

And rent me a grand piano and put some flowers round my room
But lets not talk about fare-thee-wells nowthe night is a starry dome
And they're playin that scratchy rock and roll beneath the Matalla moon
Chorus
The wind is in from Africa last night I couldnt sleep

Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here but, it's really not my home
Maybe it's been too long a time since I was scramblin down in the street
Now they got me used to that clean white linen and that fancy French cologne
Oh, Carey, get out your cane

I'll put on my finest silver
Well go to the Mermaid Cafe
Have fun tonight
I said, oh, you're a mean old daddy, but you're out of sight

Yeah, the train left the station, it had two lights on behind
that I could not help but cry
Well, the blue light was my baby and the red light was my mind

We busked around the market towns And picked fruit down in Kent

We was camping down the Gower one time, the work was pretty good
She thought we shouldn't wait for the frost And I thought maybe we should
We were drinking more in those days and tempers reached a pitch
And like a fool I let her run With the rambling itch
Oh, the last I heard she's sleeping rough back on the Darby beat
White Horse in her hip pocket And a wolfhound at her feet
And they say she even married once, a man named Romany Brown
But even a gypsy caravan was too much settling down
And they say her flower is faded now, hard weather and hard booze
But maybe that's just the price you pay for the chains you refuse
Chorus
And I miss her more than ever words could say
If I could just taste all of her wildness now
If I could hold her in my arms today
Well I wouldn't want her any other way

Well it was back in Blind River in nineteen sixty two

When I last saw you alive.
But we missed that shift on the long decline,
Long may you run.
Maybe the Beach Boys have got you now

With those waves singin' Caroline.
Rollin' down that empty ocean road,
Gettin' to the surf on time.
