	        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                G               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 

Chorus: 

     F           Am          F           C    G   C 
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....  

          C                        Am 
Well 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                  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 
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 
But love is not a victory march 
       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 ....  

     C                         Am 
Well 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 that to me do you 
      C             F        G 
But remember when I moved in you 
        Am            F 
And the holy dove was moving too 
    G               Em            Am 
And every breath we drew was hallelujah 

      C               Am 
Well, maybe there's a god above 
    C             Am 
But all I've ever learned from love 
    F                G           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 ....
