[Intro]
C Am C Am
C Am C Am
[Verse 1]
C Am
I've heard there was a secret chord
C Am
David played, and it pleased the Lord
F G
But you don't really care for
C G
music, Do ya?
C F
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
Am F
The minor fall, the major lift
G E
The baffled king composing
Am
"Hallelujah"
[Chorus]
F Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F C G C Am C
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Am
[Verse 2]
C
Your faith was strong but you
Am
needed proof
C Am
You saw her bathing on the roof
F G
Her beauty in the moonlight
C G
overthrew ya
C F
She tied you to a kitchen chair
G Am F
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
G E7
And from your lips she drew
Am
the Hallelujah
[Chorus]
F Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F C G C Am C
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Am
[Verse 3]
C Am
Maybe there's a God above
C Am
For me all I've ever learned from love
F G
How to shoot somebody who
C G
outdrew you
C F
It's not a cry that you hear at night
Am
It's not some pilgrim who's
F
seen the light
G E7
It's a cold and it's a broken
Am
Hallelujah
[Chorus]
F Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F C G C Am C
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Am
[Verse 4]
C Am
Baby I've been here before
C Am
I know this room, I walked this floor
F G
I used to live alone before I
C G
knew you
C
I've seen your flag on the
F G
marble arch
Am F
Love is not a victory march
G E7
It's a cold and it's a broken
Am
Hallelujah
[Chorus]
F Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F C G C Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Sax Solo]
C Am C Am C Am
C Am C Am C Am
[Verse 5]
C Am
I've done my best, it wasn't much
C Am
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
F G
Told the truth, I didn't come
C G
here to fool you
C F
And even though it all went
G
wrong
Am F
I'll stand before the Lord of song
G E
With nothing on my tongue but
Am
hallelujah
[Out-Chorus]
F Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F C G F Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F C G C Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C Am C Am C Am C
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
