Hallelujah

Jeff Buckley

Text File

This is a beautiful song off Buckley's debut 1994 album "Grace." The original was by Leonard Cohen but I transcribed this from Buckey's version. My tab is similar to the first tab of this song but there are some changes and I've included all the lyrics. Standard Tuning Intro: 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 Em Am The baffled king composing hallelujah Chorus: F Am F C G C Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah .... 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 you C F G She tied you to her kitchen chair Am F She broke your throne and she cut your hair G Em Am And from your lips she drew the hallelujah F Am F C G C Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah .... 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 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 Em Am It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah F Am F C G C Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah .... 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 Em Am And every breath we drew was hallelujah C Am Well, 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 It's not a cry that you hear at night Am F It's not somebody who's seen the light G Em Am It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah F Am F C G C Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....
