Hallelujah

Bon Jovi

Text File

Another version of this beautiful song:
You can either play the song with the regular chords (Leonard Cohen or Jeff Buckley 
and tune your guitar down half a step, or, if you are too lazy to tune down your guitar 
me), you can use these chords.

Intro: B G#m B G#m

  B                 G#m
I heard there was a secret chord
     B                   G#m
That David played and it pleased the lord
    E                F#               B        F#
But you don't really care for music, do you?
        B                  E           F#
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
    G#m                 E
The minor fall and the major lift
    F#            Eb m             G#m
The baffled king composing hallelujah

Chorus:

     E           G#m          E           B    
  B
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

          B                        G#m
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
    B               G#m
You saw her bathing on the roof
    E              F#             B            F#
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
B                   E       F#
She tied you to her kitchen chair
    G#m                        E
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
    F#                  Eb m            G#m
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah


     E           G#m          E           B    
  B
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

B              G#m
Baby I've been here before
     B                       G#m
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
  E             F#             B          F#
I used to live alone before I knew you
B                          E      F#
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
    G#m                    E
But love is not a victory march
       F#               Eb m          G#m
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

     E           G#m          E           B    
  C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

     B                         G#m
Well there was a time when you let me know
       B            G#m
What's really going on below
    E             F#               B        F#
But now you never show that to me do you
      B             E        F#
But remember when I moved in you
        G#m            E
And the holy dove was moving too
    F#               Eb m            G#m
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

      B               G#m
Well, maybe there's a god above
    B             G#m
But all I've ever learned from love
    E                F#           B          F#
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
     B                  E       F#
It's not a cry that you hear at night
     G#m                 E
It's not somebody who's seen the light
       F#               Eb m          G#m
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

     E           G#m          E           B    
  B
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....
