Tuning: Low G (Sounds fine with standard GCEA as well, but Low G sounds better for some chords)
Intro: C Am C Am
- C Am
I heard there was a secret chord
- C Am
That David played and it pleased the lord
- F Fm C G
But you don't really care for music do you
- C F G
Well it goes like this the fourth the fifth
- Am F
The minor fall and the major lift
- G Em Am
The baffled king composing hallelujah
- F Am F C G
Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelu-u-u-u
- C Am
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
- C Am
You saw her bathing on the roof
- F Fm C G
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
- C F G
She tied you to her kitchen chair
- Am F
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
- G Em Am
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
- F Am F C G C
Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelu-u-u-u-jah
C Am C Am
- C Am
Well maybe there's a god above
- C Am
But all I've ever learned from love
- F Fm C G
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
- C F G
It's not a cry that you hear at night
- Am F
It's not somebody who's seen the light
- G Em Am
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
- F Am F C G C
Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelu-u-u-u-jah
