Intro:
C  Am  C  Am  C  Am  C  Am

Verse:
      C                 Am
I've 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
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
     Am                F
The minor fall, the major lift
     G                Em            Am
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Chorus:
      F           Am           F           C  G C    G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu - jah

      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 you
     C             F       G
She tied you to a kitchen chair
     Am                       F
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
     G               Em            Am
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

      F           Am           F           C  G C    G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu - jah

Baby I've been here before, I know this room
I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the Marble Arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu - jah

There was a time you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
I remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu - jah

Maybe there's a God above, all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who out drew you
And it's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu - jah
