Chords with lyrics
You can either play the song with the regular chords (Leonard Cohen or Jeff Buckley
and tune your guitar down half a step, or, if you are too lazy to tune down your guitar
me), you can use these chords.
Intro: BB G# minorG#m BB G# minorG#m
BB G# minorG#m
I heard there was a secret chord
BB G# minorG#m
That David played and it pleased the lord
E MajorE F#F# BB F#F#
But you don't really care for music, do you?
BB E MajorE F#F#
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
G# minorG#m E MajorE
The minor fall and the major lift
F#F# Eb MajorEb m G# minorG#m
The baffled king composing hallelujah
Chorus:
E MajorE G# minorG#m E MajorE BB
BB
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....
BB G# minorG#m
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
BB G# minorG#m
You saw her bathing on the roof
E MajorE F#F# BB F#F#
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
BB E MajorE F#F#
She tied you to her kitchen chair
G# minorG#m E MajorE
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
F#F# Eb MajorEb m G# minorG#m
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
E MajorE G# minorG#m E MajorE BB
BB
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....
BB G# minorG#m
Baby I've been here before
BB G# minorG#m
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
E MajorE F#F# BB F#F#
I used to live alone before I knew you
BB E MajorE F#F#
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
G# minorG#m E MajorE
But love is not a victory march
F#F# Eb MajorEb m G# minorG#m
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
E MajorE G# minorG#m E MajorE BB
C majorC
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....
BB G# minorG#m
Well there was a time when you let me know
BB G# minorG#m
What's really going on below
E MajorE F#F# BB F#F#
But now you never show that to me do you
BB E MajorE F#F#
But remember when I moved in you
G# minorG#m E MajorE
And the holy dove was moving too
F#F# Eb MajorEb m G# minorG#m
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
BB G# minorG#m
Well, maybe there's a god above
BB G# minorG#m
But all I've ever learned from love
E MajorE F#F# BB F#F#
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
BB E MajorE F#F#
It's not a cry that you hear at night
G# minorG#m E MajorE
It's not somebody who's seen the light
F#F# Eb MajorEb m G# minorG#m
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
E MajorE G# minorG#m E MajorE BB
BB
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....
