Hey Jude


"Hey Jude" by The Beatles is typically performed in the key of F major. Written by Paul McCartney and credited to Lennon-McCartney, the song was released as a single in 1968. One interesting fact is that "Hey Jude" was one of The Beatles' longest singles, running over seven minutes, and it became one of their most successful songs, topping charts worldwide. The melody features McCartney's powerful vocals accompanied by a simple yet memorable piano riff and a sing-along chorus that became iconic in pop music history.
