Intro: 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       G
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 and the major lift.
    G               Em          Am
The baffled King composing Hallelujah.

Chorus:
          F           Am
     Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
          F           C  G C   G
     Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah.

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.

Chorus

Maybe I have 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 vict'ry march.
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.

Chorus

There was a time when 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 dark was moving too.
And ev'ry breath we drew was Hallelujah.

Chorus

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 somebody who's seen the light.
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
   
Chorus:
          F           Am
     Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
          F           C G
     Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
          F           Am
     Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
          F           C  G C
     Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah.
