Lyrics & Chords

INTRO 

C Am C Am

1st VERSE 

  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            E7             Am

The baffled king composing hallelujah

CHORUS 

     F           Am          F           C    G   C      Am C Am

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

2nd VERSE 

           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                  E7            Am

And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

CHORUS 

     F           Am          F           C    G   C      Am C Am

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

3rd VERSE 

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               E7          Am

It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

CHORUS 

     F           Am          F           C    G   C      Am C Am

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

 

4th VERSE 

            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               E7            Am

And every breath we drew was hallelujah

 

CHORUS 

     F           Am          F           C    G   C      Am C Am

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

 

5th VERSE 

      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               E7          Am

It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

END 

     F           Am          F           C    G   C

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u ....

     F           Am          F           C    G   C

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u ....

     F           Am          F           C    G   C

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

Am        F   G     C

     Halleluuuuuuujah
