"Maxwell's Silver Hammer" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1969 album Abbey Road. Written by Paul McCartney and credited to the Lennon–McCartney partnership, it tells the tale of Maxwell Edison, a student who murders people with a hammer. The dark lyrics are disguised by an upbeat sound. McCartney described the song as symbolic of the downfalls of life, being "my analogy for when something goes wrong out of the blue, as it so often does."
