Verse 1:
 C majorC         A minorAm
I 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
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
  A minorAm         FF
The minor fall and the major lift
  G+G      E7E7       A minorAm
The baffled king composing hallelujah

Chorus:
   FF      A minorAm     FF      C majorC  G+G  C majorC   G+G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....


Verse 2:
     C majorC            A minorAm
Well 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 her kitchen chair
  A minorAm            FF
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
  G+G         E7E7      A minorAm
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah


Chorus:
   FF      A minorAm     FF      C majorC  G+G  C majorC   G+G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....


Verse 3:
C majorC       A minorAm
Baby I've been here before
   C majorC            A minorAm
I've seen this room and 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
But love is not a victory march
    G+G        E7E7     A minorAm
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Chorus:
   FF      A minorAm     FF      C majorC  G+G  C majorC   G+G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....


Verse 4:
   C majorC             A minorAm
Well there was a time when 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 that to me do you
   C majorC       FF    G+G
But remember when I moved in you
    A minorAm      FF
And the holy dove was moving too
  G+G        E7E7      A minorAm
And every breath we drew was hallelujah


Chorus:
   FF      A minorAm     FF      C majorC  G+G  C majorC   G+G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....


Verse 5:
   C majorC        A minorAm
Well, maybe there's a god above
  C majorC       A minorAm
But all I've ever learned from love
  FF        G+G      C majorC     G+G
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
   C majorC         FF    G+G
It's not a cry that you hear at night
   A minorAm         FF
It's not somebody who's seen the light
    G+G        E7E7     A minorAm
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah


Outro:
   FF      A minorAm     FF      C majorC  G+G  C majorC   G+G
