baffled king composing    Hallelujah

From here I play the rest of the song with chords. Softly at first, then slowly

Chorus:

C
 Hallelujah

Em
 Hallelujah

C
 Hallelujah

G     D
 Hallelu.... uuuu......

G   Em  G  Em
 jah

The next verse is an example. Hallelujah is commonly rearranged by the player, so you
may play whichever of the many verses that you chose, with a soft chorus in between.

G            Em

G            Em
    saw...her bathing.....  on the roof, her

G        C    D

Em            C
    broke your throne and she cut your hair, and

D             Bm
    from your lips...   she drew the Halle-
