Judy Collins - Hallelujah
CAPO: 3rd Fret
[Intro]
C F Am C F C G
[Verse 1]
C Am
Now, I've heard there was a secret chord
C Am
That David played and it pleased the lord
F G C G
But you don't really care for music, do you?
C F G
It goes like this the fourth, the fifth
Am F
The minor fall and the major lift
G E7 Am
The baffled king composing hallelujah
F Am F C G C G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah
[Verse 2]
C Am
Your faith was strong, but you needed proof
C Am
You saw her bathing on the roof
F G 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 E7 Am
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
F Am F C G C G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah
[Verse 3]
C Am
Baby, I've been here before
C Am
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
F G C G
I used to live alone before I knew you
C F G
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Am F
And love is not a victory march
G E7 Am
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
F Am F C G C G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah
[Verse 4]
C Am
There was a time when you let me know
C Am
What's really going on below
F G C G
But now you never show it to me do you
C F G
But remember when I moved in you
Am F
And the holy dove was moving too
G E7 Am
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
F Am F C G C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah
[Verse 5]
C Am
Maybe there’s a god above
C Am
And all I ever learned from love
F G C G
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
C F G
And it’s not a cry that you hear at night
Am F
It’s not somebody who’s seen the light
G E7 Am
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah
F Am F C G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u
F Am F C G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u
F Am F C G C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah
