5 6 6 6 6 -6 -6 -6
I've heard there was a secret chord
5 6 6 6 6 6 -6 -6 -6
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 6 -5 6 6
But you don't really care for music, do you?
5 6 6 6 6 -6 -6 -7
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
6 7 7 -6 7 7 -8
The minor fall, the major lift
7 -8 -8 -8 -8 8 8 8 -8 -8 7 7
The baffled king composing Hal-le-lu---jah
5 6 -6 -6 -6 6 5 5
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
5 6 -6 -6 -6 6 5 -5 5 -4 4 -3 4
Hallelujah, Hallelu------------jah
Your faith was strong, but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You say I took the Name in vain
I don't even know the Name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
baby I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
love is not a victory march
it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
There was a time you let me know
What's really going on below
but now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above
but all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It's no complaint you hear tonight
It's not some pilgrim who's seen the light
it's a cold and it's a lonely(/broken )Hallelujah
