Hallelujah chords by Jeff Buckley

Chords with lyrics (Ver. 5)

Verse 1:
  G+G        E minor 7Em7
I heard there was a secret chord
   G+G          E minor 7Em7
That David played and it pleased the Lord
  Cadd9Cadd9      D/F#D/F#        G+G    D/F#D/F#
But you don't really care for music, do you?
     G+G         Cadd9Cadd9    D/F#D/F#
Well it goes like this: the fourth, the fifth
   E minor 7Em7       Cadd9Cadd9
The minor fall and the major lift
   D/F#D/F#      Bm7Bm7    E minor 7Em7
The baffled king composing Hallelujah


Chorus:
  Cadd9Cadd9
Hallelujah
  E minor 7Em7
Hallelujah
  Cadd9Cadd9
Hallelujah
  G+G  D/F#D/F# G+G  E minor 7Em7 G+G E minor 7Em7
Hallelu-u-u-u-jah...

Verse 2:
      G+G            E minor 7Em7
Well, Your faith was strong but you needed proof
   G+G       E minor 7Em7
You saw her bathing on the roof
  Cadd9Cadd9     D/F#D/F#      G+G    D/F#D/F#
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
   G+G       Cadd9Cadd9  D/F#D/F#
She tied you to her kitchen chair
  E minor 7Em7           Cadd9Cadd9
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
  D/F#D/F#        Bm7Bm7     E minor 7Em7
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah


Chorus:
  Cadd9Cadd9
Hallelujah
  E minor 7Em7
Hallelujah
  Cadd9Cadd9
Hallelujah
  G+G  D/F#D/F# G+G  E minor 7Em7 G+G E minor 7Em7
Hallelu-u-u-u-jah...

Verse 3:
 G+G       E minor 7Em7
Baby, I've been here before
    G+G           E minor 7Em7
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor (you know)
 Cadd9Cadd9     D/F#D/F#      G+G    D/F#D/F#
I used to live alone before I knew you
     G+G           Cadd9Cadd9 D/F#D/F#
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
   E minor 7Em7     Cadd9Cadd9
And love is not a victory march
    D/F#D/F#      Bm7Bm7    E minor 7Em7
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah


Chorus:
  Cadd9Cadd9
Hallelujah
  E minor 7Em7
Hallelujah
  Cadd9Cadd9
Hallelujah
  G+G  D/F#D/F# G+G  E minor 7Em7 G+G E minor 7Em7
Hallelu-u-u-u-jah...


Verse 4:
    G+G         E minor 7Em7
There was a time when you let me know
     G+G       E minor 7Em7
What's really going on below
  Cadd9Cadd9     D/F#D/F#       G+G    D/F#D/F#
But now you never show that to me, do you?
    G+G      Cadd9Cadd9  D/F#D/F#
But remember when I moved in you
    E minor 7Em7      Cadd9Cadd9
And the holy dove was moving too
  D/F#D/F#      Bm7Bm7    E minor 7Em7
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah


Chorus:
  Cadd9Cadd9
Hallelujah
  E minor 7Em7
Hallelujah
  Cadd9Cadd9
Hallelujah
  G+G  D/F#D/F# G+G  E minor 7Em7 G+G E minor 7Em7
Hallelu-u-u-u-jah...


Verse 5:
    G+G       E minor 7Em7
Well, Maybe there's a God above
  G+G        E minor 7Em7
But all I've ever learned from love
  Cadd9Cadd9     D/F#D/F#     G+G    D/F#D/F#
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
     G+G        Cadd9Cadd9   D/F#D/F#
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
   E minor 7Em7        Cadd9Cadd9
It's not somebody who's seen the light
   D/F#D/F#       Bm7Bm7    E minor 7Em7
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah


Chorus:
  Cadd9Cadd9
Hallelujah
  E minor 7Em7
Hallelujah
  Cadd9Cadd9
Hallelujah
  G+G  D/F#D/F# G+G  E minor 7Em7 G+G E minor 7Em7
Hallelu-u-u-u-jah...
  Cadd9Cadd9
Hallelujah
  E minor 7Em7
Hallelujah
  Cadd9Cadd9
Hallelujah
  G+G  D/F#D/F# G+G  E minor 7Em7 G+G E minor 7Em7
Hallelu-u-u-u-jah...
