Verse
G Em G Em
I heard there was a secret chord, that David played, and it pleased the Lord.
C D G Em
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
G C D Em C
Well, it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift,
D Bm Em Em
The baffled king composing Hallelujah.
Em G Em Bm D G Em G Em
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
Verse
G Em G Em
Your faith was strong but you needed proof, you saw her bathing on the roof,
C D G Em
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya.?
G C D Em C
Well, she tied you to a kitchen chair, she broke your throne, and cut your hair,
D Bm Em Em
And from your lips she drew Hallelujah.
Em G Em Bm D G Em G Em
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
Verse
G Em G Em
Baby, I?ve been here before, I?ve seen this room and I?ve walked the floor.
C D G Em
I used to live alone before I knew ya.'
G C D Em C
But I?ve seen your flag on the marble arch, our love is not a victory march,
D Bm Em Em
It's a cold and it?s a broken hallelujah.
Em G Em Bm D G Em G Em
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
.
Verse
G Em G Em
There was a time when you let me know, what?s really going on below.
C D G Em
But now you never show it to me, do ya'?
G C D Em C
Remember when I moved in you, the holy dark was moving too,
D Bm Em Em
And every breath we drew, hallelujah!
Em G Em Bm D G Em G Em
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
Verse
G Em G Em
Maybe there's a god above, but all I?ve ever learned from love,
C D G Em
Is how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya,
G C D Em C
But it's not a cry that you hear at night, it's not someone who?s seen the light,
D Bm Em Em
It's a cold and broken hallelujah.
Em G Em Bm D G Em G Em
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
