Hallelujah

[Introduction]  C// Am// C// Am//

     C                 Am
I've heard there was a secret chord
     C                   Am
That David played and it pleased the Lord
    F                G              C      G7
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               Em           Am
The baffled King composing Hallelujah

     F           Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah
     F           C G C	  G7
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Maybe 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

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

There was a time when you let me know
What's real and going on below?
But now you never show it to me, do you
Remember when I moved in you
The Holy Dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah


Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you?
And it's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not someone who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah


The song can be capo'd to suit 
individual's voice range

THE END
