HALLELUJAH - Leonard Cohen
C C/B Am
I heard there was a secret chord
C C/B Am
that David played and it pleased the Lord
F G C G
But you don't really care for music do ya
C F E
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
F Am F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C C/B Am
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
C C/B Am
You saw her bathing on the roof
F G C G
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
C F E
She tied you to a kitchen chair
Am F
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
G E Am
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
F Am F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C C/B Am
Maybe Ive been here before
C C/B Am
I know this room Ive walked this floor
F G C G
I used to live alone before I knew you
C F E
Ive seen your flag on the marble arch
Am F
Love is not a victory march
G E Am
It’s a conan it’s a broken hallelujah
F Am F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C C/B Am
There was a time you let me know
C C/B Am
Whats real and going on below
F G C G
But now you never show it to me do you?
C F E
I remember when I moved in you
Am F
The holy dark was moving too
G E Am
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
F Am F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C C/B Am
Maybe there’s a better bow
C C/B Am
Then all I ever learned from love
F G C G
Was how to shoot at someone while I drew you
C F E
Its not a cry you can hear at night
Am F
Its not somebody whos seen the light
G E Am
It’s a conan it’s a broken hallelujah
F Am F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C C/B Am
You say I took the name in vain
C C/B Am
I don't even know the name
F G C G
But if I did, well really, what's it to ya?
C F E
There's a blaze of light in every word
Am F
It doesn't matter which you heard
G E Am
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
F Am F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C C/B Am
I did my best, it wasn't much
C C/B Am
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
F G C G
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool ya
C F E
And even though it all went wrong
Am F
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
G E Am
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
(Verses I found, not in the actual song from Shreck)
F Am F C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu
F Am F C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu
F Am F C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu
F Am F C G C
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
