I've heard there was a secret chord    That David played, and it pleased the Lord
    Fmaj7            G               C
But you don't really care for music, do you?

   C                   Fmaj7   -   G             Am              Fmaj7
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth     The minor fall, the major lift
    G               E7           Am     Am
The baffled king composing "Hallelujah"

Chorus:
  Fmaj7    Fmaj7     Am      Am       F        F        C        G        C        Am

     Fmaj7  Fmaj7        Am     Am        Fmaj7  Fmaj7         C   G   C   Am
Hallelujah,         Hallelujah       Hallelujah,          Hallelu  -   jah

Verse 2:
     C                        Am                 C               Am
Your faith was strong but you needed proof   You saw her bathing on the roof
    Fmaj7          G             C          G
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
    C             Fmaj7 - G            Am                        Fmaj7
She tied you to a kitchen chair    She broke your throne and she cut your hair
    G                  E7            Am    Am
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Chorus:
     Fmaj7  Fmaj7        Am     Am        Fmaj7  Fmaj7         C   G   C   Am
Hallelujah,         Hallelujah       Hallelujah,          Hallelu  -   jah

Verse 3:
C              Am                     C                             Am
Baby I've been here before       I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
  Fmaj7         G             C          G
I used to live alone before I knew you
C                          Fmaj7 - G          Am            Fmaj7
I've seen your flag on the marble  Arch   But love is not a victory march
       G               E7          Am     Am
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Chorus:
     Fmaj7  Fmaj7        Am     Am        Fmaj7  Fmaj7         C   G   C   Am
Hallelujah,         Hallelujah       Hallelujah,          Hallelu  -   jah

Verse 4:
           C                   Am                      C            Am
Well there was a time when you let me know      What's really going on below
    Fmaj7         G               C       G
But now you never show that to me do you
      C             Fmaj7 -  G                       Am            Fmaj7
But remember when I moved in you             And the holy dove was moving too
    G               E7            Am     Am
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

Chorus:
     Fmaj7  Fmaj7        Am     Am        Fmaj7  Fmaj7         C   G   C   Am
Hallelujah,         Hallelujah       Hallelujah,          Hallelu  -   jah

Verse 5:
    C              Am                  C           Am
You say I took the name in vain      I do not even know the name
    Fmaj7          G                 C        G
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
          C                 Fmaj7 - G           Am             Fmaj7
There's a blaze of light in every   word     It doesn't matter which you heard
    G           E7          Am     Am
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

Chorus:
     Fmaj7  Fmaj7        Am     Am        Fmaj7  Fmaj7         C   G   C   Am
Hallelujah,         Hallelujah       Hallelujah,          Hallelu  -   jah

Verse 6:
      C               Am                    C             Am
Well, maybe there's a god above         But all I've ever learned from love
    Fmaj7            G           C         G
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
     C                  Fmaj7 - G            Am                 Fmaj7
It's not a cry that you hear at night   It's not somebody who's seen the light
       G               E7          Am     Am
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Chorus:
     Fmaj7  Fmaj7        Am     Am        Fmaj7  Fmaj7         C   G   C   Am
Hallelujah,         Hallelujah       Hallelujah,          Hallelu  -   jah

Verse 7:
  C                   Am               C                   Am
I did my best, but it wasn't much    I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
     Fmaj7             G              C         G
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
    C              Fmaj7 -  G              C                Fmaj7
And even though it all went wrong     I'll stand before the Lord of Song
     G             E7              Am    Am
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Chorus:
     Fmaj7  Fmaj7        Am     Am        Fmaj7  Fmaj7         C   G   C   Am
Hallelujah,         Hallelujah       Hallelujah,          Hallelu  -   jah
     Fmaj7  Fmaj7        Am     Am        Fmaj7  Fmaj7         C   G   C
Hallelujah,         Hallelujah       Hallelujah,          Hallelu  -   jah
