verse 1
(Chords optional for this part obviously)
G Em
I've heard there was a secret chord
G Em
That David played and it pleased the Lord
C D G
But you don't really care for music, do you?
G
Well it goes like this
C D Em C
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift
D B7 Em
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
C Em
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C Em D G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

verse 2
G Em
Well, your faith was strong but you needed proof
G Em
You saw her bathing on the roof
C D G
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
G C D
She tied you to the kitchen chair
Em C
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
D B7 Em
And from your lips, she drew the Hallelujah
C Em
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C Em D G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

verse 3
G Em
Well baby I've been here before
G Em
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
C D G
I used to live alone before I knew you
G C D
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Em C
And love is not a victory march
D B7 Em
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
C Em
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C Em D G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
verse 4
(Chords optional once again)
G Em
Well, maybe there's a God above
G Em
But all I've ever learned from love
C D Em
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
G C D
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
Em C
It's not somebody who's seen the light
D B7 Em
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
C Em
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C Em D G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C Em
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C Em D G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C Em
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C Em D G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
