[Verse 1]
G Em
Now I've heard there was a secret chord
G Em
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
C D G D
But you don't really care for music, do you?
G C D
It goes like this the fourth, the fifth
Em C
The minor fall, the major lift
D B7 Em
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
C Em C G D G D
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah
[Verse 2]
G Em
Your faith was strong, but you needed proof
G Em
You saw her bathing on the roof
C D G D
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
G C D
She tied you to a kitchen chair
Em C
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
D B7 Em
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
C Em C G D G D
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah
[Verse 3]
G Em
You say I took the name in vain
G Em
I don't even know the name
C D G D
But if I did, well really, what's it to ya?
G C D
There's a blaze of light in every word
Em C
It doesn't matter which you heard
D B7 Em
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
C Em C G D G D
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah
[Verse 4]
G Em
I did my best, it wasn't much
G Em
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
C D G D
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool ya
G C D
And even though it all went wrong
Em C
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
D B7 Em
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
[Outro]

C Em C G D
