A Veterans Hallelujah chords by Leonard Cohen

C              Am
	ut the door,

      C                     Am
You crossed the sea to fight a war,

     F                  G                 C       G
You didn't know just what would happen to ya.

    C                     F             G
Stepped in the dirt boots on the ground,

     Am                 F
And gunfire is the only sound,

     G                  E             Am
And to yourself you whispered, Hallelujah.

Chorus:
      F             Am             F
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

      C   G   C       G
Hallelu - jah.



Verse:
      C                  Am
Every day and every night,

     C                      Am
You walked the walk, you fought the fight,

     F                G                  C      G
You never saw the end in sight now did ya.

     C               F         G
The days awash in a haze of red,

     Am                            F
The blood, The mud, too many dead,

     G                E               Am
Your weary soul was crying Hallelujah.



Chorus:
      F             Am             F
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

      C   G   C       G
Hallelu - jah.



Verse:
     C                    Am
Too late to help, you hear a shot,

        C              Am
You know you're in a deadly spot,

     F                G                   C      G
You never thought this day would come now did ya?

           C                   F       G
Your brother falls down to the ground,

    Am                F
The enemy is all around,

     G             E             Am
From your lips you scream a Hallelujah.



Chorus:
      F             Am             F
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

      C   G   C       G
Hallelu - jah.



Verse:
   C                       Am
You fought the fight till it was done,

   C                    Am
You have the strength to carry on,

      F                   G                C        G
You thought it'd be much better back home did ya?

     C                     F          G
You try each day, keep pushing through,

      Am                  F
But the battle lives inside of you,

      G               E                 Am
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah



Chorus:
      F             Am             F             C   G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

      F             Am             F             C   G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

      F             Am             F             C   G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

      F             Am             F             C   G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
