C Am C Am

   C                 Am
I heard there was a secret chord
      C                   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           G
Well 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

Chorus:
      F          Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
      F           C  G  C
Hallelujah, hallelu-u-ujah

Am C Am

            C                        Am
Well, 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
And she tied you to her kitchen chair
     Am                        F
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
     G                   E            Am
And from your lips, she drew the Hallelujah

Chorus:
      F          Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
      F           C  G  C
Hallelujah, hallelu-u-ujah

Am C Am

C                Am
 Baby, I've been here before
C                             Am
 I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
        F                        G      C      G
You know I used to live alone before I knew you
          C                     F     G
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
     Am            F
And Love is not a victory march
        G               E          Am
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Chorus:
      F          Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
      F           C  G  C
Hallelujah, hallelu-u-ujah

Am C Am

C                                Am
 Well, 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 that to me, do you?
       C              F        G
But remember, when I moved in you
        Am             F
And the holy dove was moving too
    G                 E            Am
And every breath, we drew was Hallelujah

Chorus:
      F          Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
      F           C  G  C
Hallelujah, hallelu-u-ujah

Am C Am

C               Am
Maybe there's a God above
C                   Am
But, all I've ever learned from love
     F                      G      C      G
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you?
          C                   F       G
And it's not a cry, that you hear at night
     Am                    F
It's not somebody, who's seen the light
        G               E          Am
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

      F           Am          F          C G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, halleluj...
      F           Am          F          C G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, halleluj...
      F           Am          F          C G C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
