G - Em - G - Em

G                  Em
i heard there was a secret chord
G                       Em
that david played and it pleased the lord
C                   D              G      D
but you don’t really care for music, do you
G                         C            D
well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
Em                     C
the minor fall and the major lift
D                    B7         Em
the baffled king composing hallelujah

C          Em          C        G    D     G
hallelujah,  hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-jah,

Em - G - Em

G                                Em
well your faith was strong but you needed proof
G                      Em
you saw her bathing on the roof
C                     D            G       D
her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
G                   C         D
she tied you to her kitchen chair
Em                          C
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
D                       B7          Em
and from your lips she drew the hallelujah
      C          Em          C        G    D     G
hallelujah,  hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-jah,

Em - G - Em

G                Em
baby i’ve been here before
G                            Em
i’ve seen this room and i’ve walked this floor
C               D             G      D
i used to live alone before i knew you
G                          C        D
i’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
Em                 C
but love is not a victory march
D                     B7          Em
it’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah
      C          Em          C        G    D     G
hallelujah,  hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-jah,

G                         Em
well there was a time when you let me know
G                   Em
what’s really going on below
C                 D                 G    D
but now you never show that to me do you
G                   C          D
but remember when i moved in you
Em                    C
and the holy dove was moving too
D                    B7         Em
and every breath we drew was hallelujah

G                   Em
well, maybe there’s a god above
G                    Em
but all i’ve ever learned from love
C                D             G           D
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
G                      C             D
it’s not a cry that you hear at night
Em                        C
it’s not somebody who’s seen the light
D                     B7           Em
it’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah

C          Em          C        G    D     G
hallelujah,  hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-jah,
