Hallelujah

Chords & Lyrics, etc. · v1

                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                 Em                  C
It goes like this the fourth, the fifth. 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


Your faith was strong, but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to a kitchen chair, She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah
 

Maybe there's a God above
but all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It's no complaint you hear tonight, It's not some pilgrim who's seen the light
it's a cold and it's a lonely broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah

 

Organ Solo over verse

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah


You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to ya?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah
 

baby I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch, love is not a victory march
it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah

 

There was a time you let me know
What's really going on below
but now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah

 

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to [ .. ] to fool ya
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

     C                   Em             C                 G.   D
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
