Verse 1

I heard there was a secret chord
[C6] [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] [E]
It goes like this the fourth the fifth,

the minor fall and the major lift

The baffled king composing hallelujah

Verse 2
[C6] [Am]
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
[C6] [Am]
You saw her bathing on the roof
[F] [G] [C] [G]
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her
[C] [F] [E]
She tied you to a kitchen chair
[Am] [F]

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

The holy or the broken Hallelujah

[C6] [Am]
Baby I've been here before.
[C6] [Am]
I know this room I've walked this floor.

I used to live alone before I knew you.
[C] [F] [E]
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
[Am] [F]
but love is not a victory march

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Verse 5
[C6] [Am]

whats really going on below

and every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Now maybe there's a God above
[C6] [Am]

is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
[C] [F] [E]
And it's no complaint you hear tonight
[Am] [F]
and it's not some pilgrim who's seen the light
[G] [E] [E7] [Am] [Am/G]
it's a cold and it's a lonely Hallelujah

I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you.
[C] [F] [E]
And even though it all went wrong,
[Am] [F]
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
[G] [E] [E7] [Am] [Am/G]
with nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
Chorus
[F] [Am] [F] [C6]-[G]-[C]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
