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
This follows the Rufus Wainwright piano version of the tune and can be capo�d to suit
individual�s voice range
