Hallelujah chords *
Leonard Cohen (live London version)

C majorC A minorAm C majorC A minorAm C majorC A minorAm C majorC A minorAm

     C majorC         A minorAm
Now I've heard there was a secret chord,
   C majorC          A minorAm
that David played, and it pleased the Lord
  FF        G+G        C majorC    G+G
But you don't really care for music, do you?
  C majorC         FF      G+G
It goes like this the fourth, the fifth,
  A minorAm       FF
the minor fall, the major lift
  G+G        E minorEm     A minorAm
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
   FF
Hallelujah
   A minorAm
Hallelujah
   FF
Hallelujah
   C majorC G+G C majorC  G+G
Hallelu jah

   C majorC            A minorAm
Your faith was strong but you needed proof,
  C majorC        A minorAm
you saw her bathing on the roof
  FF       G+G       C majorC     G+G
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
  C majorC       FF    G+G
She tied you to a kitchen chair,
  A minorAm             FF
she broke your throne, and she cut your hair
  G+G         E minorEm      A minorAm
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

   FF
Hallelujah
   A minorAm
Hallelujah
   FF
Hallelujah
   C majorC G+G C majorC  G+G
Hallelu jah

   C majorC        A minorAm
Now, maybe there's a God above,
  C majorC     A minorAm
and all I ever learned from love,
  FF        G+G       C majorC    G+G
was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
   C majorC         FF    G+G
It's not a cry you can hear at night,
   A minorAm         FF
it's not somebody who's seen the light,
    G+G        E minorEm     A minorAm
it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

   FF
Hallelujah
   A minorAm
Hallelujah
   FF
Hallelujah
   C majorC G+G C majorC  G+G
Hallelu jah

  C majorC         A minorAm
Oh, people, I've been here before,
 C majorC          A minorAm
I know this room, I've walked this floor
 FF       G+G       C majorC    G+G
I used to live alone before I knew you.
   C majorC           FF   G+G
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
A minorAm      FF
Love is not a victory march
    G+G        E minorEm     A minorAm
it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

   FF
Hallelujah
   A minorAm
Hallelujah
   FF
Hallelujah
   C majorC G+G C majorC  G+G
Hallelu jah

      C majorC    A minorAm
There was a time you let me know,
    C majorC      A minorAm
what's really going on below
  FF       G+G       C majorC    G+G
But now you never show it to me, do you?
   C majorC       FF    G+G
And remember when I moved in you
  A minorAm      FF
The holy dove was moving too
  G+G        E minorEm      A minorAm
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

   FF
Hallelujah
   A minorAm
Hallelujah
   FF
Hallelujah
   C majorC G+G C majorC  G+G
Hallelu jah

   C majorC        A minorAm
I've done my best, it wasn't much,
 C majorC          A minorAm
I couldn't feel, so I learned to touch
   FF            G+G    C majorC    G+G
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
  C majorC       FF    G+G
And even though it all went wrong
   A minorAm        FF
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
   G+G       E minorEm       A minorAm
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

   FF
Hallelujah
   A minorAm
Hallelujah
   FF
Hallelujah
   C majorC G+G C majorC  G+G
Hallelu jah

   FF
Hallelujah
   A minorAm
Hallelujah
   FF
Hallelujah
   C majorC G+G C majorC  G+G
Hallelu jah
