C Am
I’ve heard there was a secret chord
C Am
That David played and it pleased the Lord,
F G C G
But you don’t really care for music do you?
C F G
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth.
Am F
The minor fall and the major lift.
G Em Am
The baffled King composing Hallelujah.
Chorus:
F Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah.
C Am
Your faith was strong but you needed proof.
C Am
You saw her bathing on the roof,
F G C G
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you.
C F G
She tied you to a kitchen chair.
Am F
She broke your throne, she cut your hair.
G Em Am
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah.
Chorus:
F Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah.
C Am
Maybe I have been here before,
C Am
I know this room, I’ve walked this floor,
F G C G
I used to live alone before I knew you,
C F G
I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch,
Am F
Love is not a vict’ry march.
G Em Am
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah.
Chorus:
F Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah.
C Am
There was a time when you let me know
C Am
What’s really going on below,
F G C G
But now you never show it to me do you?
C F G
And remember when I moved in you,
Am F
The holy dark was moving too.
G Em Am
And ev’ry breath we drew was Hallelujah.
Chorus:
F Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah.
C Am
Maybe there’s a God above
C Am
And all I ever learned from love
F G C G
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you.
C F G
And it’s not a cry you can hear at night,
Am F
It’s not somebody who’s seen the light.
G Em Am
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
Chorus:
F Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
F C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
F Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
F C G C
Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah.
