HALLELUJAH
Leonard Cohen
Verse 1
[C] [C/B] [Am]
I heard there was a secret chord
[C] [C/B] [Am]
that David played and it pleased the Lord
[F] [G] [C] [G]
But you don't really care for music do ya
[C] [F] [G]
It goes like this the fourth the fifth
[Am] [F]
the minor fall and the major lift
[G] [E] [Am]
The baffled king composing hallelujah
[F] [Am] [F] [C] [G] [C] [G]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Verse 2
[C] [C/B] [Am]
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
[C] [C/B] [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
[Am] [F]
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
[G] [E] [Am]
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
[F] [Am] [F] [C] [G] [C] [G]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Verse 3
[C] [C/B] [Am]
Maybe I've been here before
[C] [C/B] [Am]
I know this room Ive 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]
But Love is not a victory march
[G] [E] [Am]
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah
[F] [Am] [F] [C] [G] [C] [G]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Verse 4
[C] [C/B] [Am]
There was a time you let me know
[C] [C/B] [Am]
What's real and going on below
[F] [G] [C] [G]
But now you never show it to me do you?
[C] [F] [G]
I remember when I moved in you
[Am] [F]
The holy dark was moving too
[G] [E] [Am]
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
[F] [Am] [F] [C] [G] [C] [G]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Verse 5
[C] [C/B] [Am]
Maybe there’s a God above
[C] [C/B] [Am]
But all I ever learned from love
[F] [G] [C] [G]
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
[C] [F] [G]
Its not the cry that you hear at night
[Am] [F]
It's not someone who's seen the light
[G] [E] [Am]
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah
[F] [Am] [F] [C] [G] [C] [G]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Verse 6
[C] [C/B] [Am]
You say I took the name in vain
[C] [C/B] [Am]
But I don't even know the name
[F] [G] [C] [G]
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
[F] [Am] [F] [C] [G] [C] [G]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Verse 7
[C] [C/B] [Am]
I did my best, it wasn't much
[C] [C/B] [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
