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

   G                   C           D
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
    Em              C
The minor fall, the major lift
    D               B           Em
The baffled King composing Hallelujah

      C           Em
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
      C          G D G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

G Em G Em

          G                        Em
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
    G               Em
You saw her bathing on the roof
    C                            G      D
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya.

    G               C       D
She tied you to her kitchen chair
    Em                         C
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
    D                  B             Em
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

      C           Em
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
      C          G D G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

G Em G Em

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

     G                     C      D
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Em            C
Love is not a victory march
       D               B           Em
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

      C           Em
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
      C          G D Em
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
   D    G Em G Em C D G D
Oh yeah…

G Em G Em

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

    G               C        D
And remember when I moved in you
    Em            C
The Holy Dove was moving too
    D                B              Em
And every breath you drew was Hallelujah

             C           Em
It was Hallelujah, Hallelujah
      C          Em D G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

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

     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               B           Em
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

      C           Em
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
      C          G D C
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
           G
Hey, Hallelujah
