Hey Jude Chords & Guitar Lesson
Welcome to my Hey Jude guitar chord chart. I love this song. It's a fan favorite and we play this a lot at my song circles at the school. This song is very easy and a great way for students to get introduced to 7 chords.
If you are a female student, you may want to use a capo on the 3rd or 5th fret for this song to actually be able to play and song. The song is very low for the female voice so I capo up when I have to sing and play.
