(originally by Leonard Cohen)
[Intro]
C Am C Am
[Verse 1]
C Am
I've heard about this baby boy
C Am
Who's come to earth to bring us joy
F G C G
And I just want to sing this song to you
C F G
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
Am F
The minor fall, the major lift
G E7 Am
With every breath I'm singing Hallelujah
[Chorus]
F Am F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Verse 2]
C Am
A couple came to Bethlehem
C Am
Expecting child, they searched the inn
F G C G
To find a place for You were coming soon
C F G
There was no room for them to stay
Am F
So in a manger filled with hay
G E7 Am
God's only Son was born, oh Hallelujah
[Chorus]
F Am F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Verse 3]
C Am
The shepherds left their flocks by night
C Am
To see this baby wrapped in light
F G C G
A host of angels led them all to You
C F G
It was just as the angels said
Am F
You'll find Him in a manger bed
G E7 Am
Immanuel and Savior, Hallelujah
[Chorus]
F Am F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Verse 4]
C Am
A star shown bright up in the east
C Am
To Bethlehem, the wisemen three
F G C G
Came many miles and journeyed long for You
C F G
And to the place at which You were
Am F
Their frankincense and gold and myrrh
G E7 Am
They gave to You and cried out Hallelujah
[Chorus]
F Am F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Verse 5]
C Am
I know You came to rescue me
C Am
This baby boy would grow to be
F G C G
A man and one day die for me and you
C F G
My sins would drive the nails in You
Am F
That rugged cross was my cross, too
G E7 Am
Still every breath You drew was Hallelujah
[Chorus]
F Am F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F Am F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
