G C
Well I've heard there was a secret chord
G C
That David played, and he pleased the Lord
C G D
But you don't really care for music, do you?
G C D
Well, it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
Em C
The minor fall and the major lift
D Bm Em
The baffled king composing hallelujah
C Em
Hallelujah, hallelujah
C G D G
Hallelujah, hallelu-u-jah
G C
Well your faith was strong, but you needed proof
G C
You saw her bathing on the roof
C G D
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
G C D
And she tied you to her kitchen chair
Em C
And she broke your throne, and she cut your hair
D Bm Em
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
C Em
Hallelujah, hallelujah
C G D G
Hallelujah, hallelu-u-jah

G C
Well baby I've been here before
G C
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
C G D
You know, I used to live alone before I knew you
G C D
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Em C
And love is not a victory march
D Bm Em
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
C Em
Hallelujah, hallelujah
C G D G
Hallelujah, hallelu-u-jah
G C
Well there was a time when you let me know
G C
What's really going on below
C G D
But now you never show that to me, do you?
G C D
I remember when I moved in you
Em C
And the Holy Dove was moving too
D Bm Em
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
C Em
Hallelujah, hallelujah
C G D G
Hallelujah, hallelu-u-jah
G C
Maybe there is a God above
G C
But all I've ever learned from love
C G D
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
G C D
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
Em C
It's not somebody who's seen the light
D Bm Em
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
C Em
Hallelujah, hallelujah
C G D
Hallelujah, hallelu,
C Em
Hallelujah, hallelujah
C G D
Hallelujah, hallelu,
C Em
Hallelujah, hallelujah
C G D Em C Em C Em
Hallelujah, hallelu- -jah,
C D G
Hallelu-u-jah.
