C G
[Verse]
C Am
Now I've 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
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth,
Am F
The minor fall, the major lift,
G E Am
The baffled king composing, Hallelujah.
[Chorus]
F Am F
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
C G C G
Hallelu - jah.
[Verse]
C Am
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 ya.
C F G
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.
[Chorus]
F Am F
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
C G C G
Hallelu - jah.
[Verse]
C Am
You say I took the name in vain,
C Am
Though I don't even know the name,
F G C G
But if I did, well really, what's it to ya?
C F G
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.
[Chorus]
F Am F
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
C G C G
Hallelu - jah.
[Verse]
C Am
I did my best, it wasn't much,
C 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 G
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.
[Chorus]
F Am F C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F Am F C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F Am F C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F Am F C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
