Verse 1:
 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   G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....


Verse 2:
     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   G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....


Verse 3:
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   G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....


Verse 4:
   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   G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....


Verse 5:
   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


Outro:
   F      Am     F      C  G  C   G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....
