INTRO

G+G - E minorEm - G+G - E minorEm

G+G         E minorEm
i heard there was a secret chord
G+G            E minorEm
that david played and it pleased the lord
C majorC          D MajorD       G+G   D MajorD
but you don’t really care for music, do you
G+G             C majorC      D MajorD
well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
E minorEm           C majorC
the minor fall and the major lift
D MajorD          B7B7     E minorEm
the baffled king composing hallelujah

C majorC     E minorEm     C majorC    G+G  D MajorD   G+G
hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-jah,

E minorEm - G+G - E minorEm

G+G                E minorEm
well your faith was strong but you needed proof
G+G           E minorEm
you saw her bathing on the roof
C majorC           D MajorD      G+G    D MajorD
her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
G+G          C majorC     D MajorD
she tied you to her kitchen chair
E minorEm             C majorC
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
D MajorD            B7B7     E minorEm
and from your lips she drew the hallelujah
   C majorC     E minorEm     C majorC    G+G  D MajorD   G+G
hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-jah,

E minorEm - G+G - E minorEm

G+G        E minorEm
baby i’ve been here before
G+G              E minorEm
i’ve seen this room and i’ve walked this floor
C majorC        D MajorD       G+G   D MajorD
i used to live alone before i knew you
G+G             C majorC    D MajorD
i’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
E minorEm         C majorC
but love is not a victory march
D MajorD           B7B7     E minorEm
it’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah
   C majorC     E minorEm     C majorC    G+G  D MajorD   G+G
hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-jah,

G+G             E minorEm
well there was a time when you let me know
G+G          E minorEm
what’s really going on below
C majorC         D MajorD         G+G  D MajorD
but now you never show that to me do you
G+G          C majorC     D MajorD
but remember when i moved in you
E minorEm          C majorC
and the holy dove was moving too
D MajorD          B7B7     E minorEm
and every breath we drew was hallelujah

G+G          E minorEm
well, maybe there’s a god above
G+G          E minorEm
but all i’ve ever learned from love
C majorC        D MajorD       G+G      D MajorD
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
G+G           C majorC       D MajorD
it’s not a cry that you hear at night
E minorEm            C majorC
it’s not somebody who’s seen the light
D MajorD           B7B7      E minorEm
it’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah

C majorC     E minorEm     C majorC    G+G  D MajorD   G+G
hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-jah,
