Intro:
FF      G+G         FF C majorC G+G C majorC
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!, Hallelu.....jah!

Verse - C:
C majorC
From the canyons of the mind we wander on and stumble blindly
A minorAm
Through the often-tangled maze of starless nights and sunless days
   FF
While asking for some kind of clue or road to lead us to the truth
       G+G C majorC
But who will answer?

Verse - C:
C majorC
Side by side two people stand together vowing hand-in-hand
   A minorAm
That love's imbedded in their hearts but soon an empty feeling starts
  FF
To overwhelm their hollow lives and when they seek the hows and whys
     G+G C majorC
Who will answer?

Verse - Am:
A minorAm
On a strange and distant hill a young man's lying very still
  E minorEm
His arms will never hold his child because a bullet running wild
  FF
Has struck him down. And now we cry "Dear God, Oh, why, oh, why?"
       G+G C majorC
But who will answer?

Verse - Am:
A minorAm
High upon a lonely ledge a figure teeters near the edge
  E minorEm
And jeering crowds collect below to egg him on with, "Go, man, go!"
  FF
But who will ask what led him to his private day of doom
       G+G C majorC
And who will answer?

Chorus:
FF       G+G       C majorC       A minorAm
If the soul is darkened by a fear it cannot name
FF       G+G        C majorC          A minorAm
If the mind is baffled when the rules don't fit the game
FF        G+G             FF C majorC G+G C majorC
Who will answer? Who will answer? Who will an.....swer?
FF      G+G         FF C majorC G+G C majorC
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!, Hallelu.....jah!


--Capo 1st fret / chords in brackets--

Verse - C#C# - told:
C majorC (C#C#)
In the rooms of dark and shades the scent of sandalwood pervades
A minorAm (A#mA#m)
The colored thoughts in muddled heads reclining in the rumpled beds
     FF (F#F#)
Of unmade dreams that can't come true and when we ask what we should do
  G+G (G#G#)       C majorC (C#C#)
Who... Who will answer?


Verse - A#m:
A minorAm (A#mA#m)
'Neath the spreading mushroom tree the world revolves in apathy
  E minorEm (F minorFm)
As overhead, a row of specks roars on, drowned out by discotheques
     FF (F#F#)
And if a secret button's pressed because one man has been outguessed
G+G (G#G#)   C majorC (C#C#)
Who will answer?

Verse - A#m:
A minorAm (A#mA#m)
Is our hope in walnut shells worn 'round the neck with temple bells
  E minorEm (F minorFm)
Or deep within some cloistered walls where hooded figures pray in halls?
  FF (F#F#)
Or crumbled books on dusty shelves or in our stars, or in ourselves
G+G (G#G#)   C majorC (C#C#)
Who will answer?


Chorus:
FF (F#F#)     G+G (G#G#)    C majorC (C#C#)     A minorAm (A#mA#m)
If the soul is darkened by a fear it cannot name
FF (F#F#)     G+G (G#G#)      C majorC (C#C#)       A minorAm (A#mA#m)
If the mind is baffled when the rules don't fit the game
FF (F#F#)      G+G (G#G#)          FF (F#F#) C majorC (C#C#) G+G (G#G#) C majorC (C#C#)
Who will answer? Who will answer? Who will an....................swer?
FF (F#F#)   G+G (G#G#)      FF (F#F#) C majorC (C#C#) G+G (G#G#) C majorC (C#C#)
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!, Hallelu....................jah!
