I'm more familiar with the version that John Cale did on the I'm Your fan tribute, which was in C, but that's too much of a pain in the ass for me. Transpose it down a fifth if you wish. G Em I heard there was a secret chord G Em that David played and it pleased the Lord, C G But you don't really care for music do you. G C D It goes like this the fourth the fifth, Em C D the minor fall and the major lift D Em The baffled king composing hallelujah C Em C G-D-G Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja Easy.
