   G+G          E minorEm
I've heard that there's a secret chord
   G+G          E minorEm
That David played and it pleased the Lord
  C majorC                G+G   D MajorD
But you don't really care for music do ya'

  G+G          C majorC      D MajorD
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
  E minorEm       C majorC
The minor fall, the major lift
  D MajorD        BB      E minorEm
The baffled King composing Hallelujah

   C majorC      E minorEm
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
   C majorC     G+G D MajorD G+G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

G+G 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              G+G   D MajorD
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya.

  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         BB       E minorEm
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

   C majorC      E minorEm
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
   C majorC     G+G D MajorD G+G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

G+G E minorEm G+G E minorEm

G+G         E minorEm
Darling I've been here before
   G+G          E minorEm
I've seen this room, I've walked these floors
      C majorC                G+G D MajorD
You know I used to live alone before I knew ya.

   G+G           C majorC   D MajorD
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
E minorEm      C majorC
Love is not a victory march
    D MajorD        BB      E minorEm
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

   C majorC      E minorEm
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
   C majorC     G+G D MajorD E minorEm
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
  D MajorD  G+G E minorEm G+G E minorEm C majorC D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Oh yeah…

G+G E minorEm G+G E minorEm

G+G             E minorEm
There was a time when you let me know
    G+G      E minorEm
What's really going on below
C majorC                G+G   D MajorD
But now you never show it to me, do ya'

  G+G        C majorC    D MajorD
And remember when I moved in you
  E minorEm      C majorC
The Holy Dove was moving too
  D MajorD        BB       E minorEm
And every breath you drew was Hallelujah

       C majorC      E minorEm
It was Hallelujah, Hallelujah
   C majorC     E minorEm D MajorD G+G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

  G+G        E minorEm
So maybe there's a God above
  G+G     E minorEm
But all I ever learned from love
  C majorC                  G+G D MajorD
Was how to shoot at somebody who outdrew ya.

   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        BB      E minorEm
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

   C majorC      E minorEm
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
   C majorC     G+G D MajorD C majorC
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
      G+G
Hey, Hallelujah
