I removed a line from the first paragraph of the musical structure section of Hey Jude" and placed it in the second paragraph of the section:

"The verse-bridge structure of the song persists for approximately three minutes, after which the band leads into a four-minute long outro refrain where the main chord progression is "flipped on its head" with the C chord replaced by E-flat (changing the song's mode to F Mixolydian from F Major)."

This construction is much clearer for a couple of reasons. The first reason is that discussion of the refrain in the section where the verse and chorus are explained is inherently confusing. An E-flat chord appears only during the refrain (outro) and should be discussed in the second paragraph. Secondly, for musicians trying to understand the song and how it is played, being specific about the key change in the refrain (F Mixolydian) gives the article more value as a musical guide.

Finally, I made a concession by leaving in the "flipped on its head" phrase. The song does no such thing during the verse or the chorus. The current article is correct--mainly--but introducing material about the refrain in the section on the verse and chorus is misleading and confusing. I play the song on piano in its entirety. My edit is intended to reflect that knowledge for other musicians who might want to learn the song.
