[Verse]
G Em
Well 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 ya?
G C D
It goes like this, the 4th, the 5th,
Em C
The minor fall and the major lift,
D B7 Em
The baffled king composing hallelujah,
C Em C G D
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu------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 yo to her 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
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu------jah
[Verse 3]
G Em
Well baby I've been here before,
G Em
I know this room and I've walked this floor,
C D G D
I used to live alone before I knew ya.
G C D
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch,
Em C
And love is not a victory march,
D B7 Em
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah,
C Em C G D
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu------jah
[Verse 4]
G Em
There was a time when you let me know,
G Em
What's really going on below,
C D G D
But now you never show it to me do ya.
G C D
Well remember when I moved in you,
Em C
And the holy dove was moving too,
D B7 Em
And every breath we drew was hallelujah,
C Em C G D
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu------jah
[Verse 5]
G Em
Maybe there is a God above,
G Em
But all I ever learned from love,
C D G D
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew ya.
G C D
And it's not a cry you can hear and night,
Em C
It's not somebody who's seen the light,
D B7 Em
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah,
C Em C G D
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-jah
C Em C G D
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu------jah
