     C                 Am                   C                    Am
I've heard there was a secret chord    That David played, and it pleased the Lord
    F                G               C
But you don't really care for music, do you?

   C                   F       -   G             Am              F
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth     The minor fall, the major lift
    G               E7           Am     Am
The baffled king composing "Hallelujah"
 
[Chorus]
  F        F         Am      Am       F        F        C        G        C        Am

Hallelujah,         Hallelujah       Hallelujah,          Hallelu  -   jah
 
[Verse 2]
     C                        Am                 C               Am
Your faith was strong but you needed proof   You saw her bathing on the roof
    F              G             C          G
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
    C             F     - G            Am                        F
She tied you to a kitchen chair    She broke your throne and she cut your hair
    G                  E7            Am    Am
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
 
[Chorus]
     F      F            Am     Am        F      F             C   G   C   Am
Hallelujah,         Hallelujah       Hallelujah,          Hallelu  -   jah
 
[Verse 3]
C              Am                     C                             Am
Baby I've been here before       I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
  F             G             C          G
I used to live alone before I knew you
C                          F     - G          Am            F
I've seen your flag on the marble  Arch   But love is not a victory march
       G               E7          Am     Am
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
 
[Chorus]
     F      F            Am     Am        F      F             C   G   C   Am
Hallelujah,         Hallelujah       Hallelujah,          Hallelu  -   jah
 
[Verse 4]
           C                   Am                      C            Am
Well there was a time when you let me know      What's really going on below
    F             G               C       G
But now you never show that to me do you
      C             F     -  G                       Am            F
But remember when I moved in you             And the holy dove was moving too
    G               E7            Am     Am
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
 
[Chorus]
     F      F            Am     Am        F      F             C   G   C   Am
Hallelujah,         Hallelujah       Hallelujah,          Hallelu  -   jah
 
[Verse 5]
    C              Am                  C           Am
You say I took the name in vain      I do not even know the name
    F              G                 C        G
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
          C                 F     - G           Am             F
There's a blaze of light in every   word     It doesn't matter which you heard
    G           E7          Am     Am
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
 
[Chorus]
     F      F            Am     Am        F      F             C   G   C   Am
Hallelujah,         Hallelujah       Hallelujah,          Hallelu  -   jah
 
[Verse 6]
      C               Am                    C             Am
Well, maybe there's a god above         But all I've ever learned from love
    F                G           C         G
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
     C                  F     - G            Am                 F
It's not a cry that you hear at night   It's not somebody who's seen the light
       G               E7          Am     Am
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
 
[Chorus]
     F      F            Am     Am        F      F             C   G   C   Am
Hallelujah,         Hallelujah       Hallelujah,          Hallelu  -   jah
 
[Verse 7]
  C                   Am               C                   Am
I did my best, but it wasn't much    I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
     F                 G              C         G
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
    C              F     -  G              C                F
And even though it all went wrong     I'll stand before the Lord of Song
     G             E7              Am    Am
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
 
[Chorus]
     F      F            Am     Am        F      F             C   G   C   Am
Hallelujah,         Hallelujah       Hallelujah,          Hallelu  -   jah
     F      F            Am     Am        F      F             C   G   C
Hallelujah,         Hallelujah       Hallelujah,          Hallelu  -   jah
