Hey Jude is one of the most beloved singalong songs ever written, and it’s more approachable for beginners than it looks. The verses lean on just a handful of open chords — G, D, D7, and C — over a relaxed, steady strum, so you can focus on clean switching and singing along.
The chorus adds a gentle descending bassline built from a few slash chords, and the famous “na na na” outro uses easy shapes — including a four-finger F that skips the barre entirely. Work through it section by section and the whole song comes together quickly.
