intro:
|G D|
|G D|
1st:
G D
I've heard there was a secret chord
G D
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, the major lift
D Em
The baffled King composing Hallelujah
C Em
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C G-D-G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
2nd:
G D
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
G D
You saw her bathing on the roof
C G
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
G C D
She tied you to a kitchen chair
Em C D
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
D G
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
C Em
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C G-D-G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
3rd:
G D
Maybe I've been here before
G D
I know this room, I've walked this floor
C G
I used to live alone before I knew you
G C D
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Em C D
Love is not a victory march
D Em
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
C Em
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C G-D-G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
4th:
G D
There was a time when you let me know
G D
What's real and going on below
C G
But now you never show it to me, do you?
G C D
And remember when I moved in you
Em C D
The Holy Dark was moving too
D Em
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
C Em
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C Em
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
5th:
G D
Maybe there's a God above
G D
And all I ever learned from love
C G
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
G C D
And it's not a cry you can hear at night
Em C D
It's not somebody who's seen the light
D Em
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
C Em
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C G-D-G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C Em
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C G-D-G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
