Now I've heard there was a secret chord

That David played, and it pleased the Lord
[F] [G] [C] [G]
But you don't really care for music, do you?

It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth

The minor fall, the major lift

The baffled king composing, hallelujah

Verse 2
[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 and the moonlight overthrew ya
[C] [F] [G]
She tied you to a kitchen chair

She broke your throne, and she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

I used to live alone before I knew you
[C] [F] [G]
I've seen your flag on the marble arch

It's a cold, and it's a broken hallelujah

Verse 4
[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

The holy dove was moving too

And every breath we drew was hallelujah

Verse 5
[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]
It's not a cry you can hear at night

It's not somebody who has seen the light
[G] [E] [Am]
It's a cold, and it's a broken hallelujah

Verse 6
[C] [Am]
You say I took the name in vain
[C] [Am]
Though I don't even know the name

But if I did, well really, what's it to ya?
[C] [F] [G]
There's a blaze of light in every word
[Am] [F]
It doesn't matter which you heard
[G] [E] [Am]
The holy or the broken hallelujah
Chorus
[F] [Am] [F] [C] [G] [C] [G]
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu - jah
Verse 7
[C] [Am]
I did my best, it wasn't much
[C] [Am]
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
[F] [G] [C] [G]
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool ya
[C] [F] [G]
And even though it all went wrong
[Am] [F]
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
[G] [E] [Am]
With nothing on my tongue but hallelujah
