C C                 C/B C/B    Am Am 
I heard there was a secret chord
C C C/B C/B Am Am
that David played and it pleased the Lord
F F G G C C G G
But you don't really care for music do ya
C C F F G G
It goes like this the fourth, the fifth
Am Am E7 E7
the minor fall and the major lift
Dm Dm Am Am
The baffled king composing hallelujah
F F Am Am F F C C G G C C G G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah



C C C/B C/B Am Am
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
C C C/B C/B Am Am
You saw her bathing on the roof
F F G G C C G G
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
C C F F G G
She tied you to a kitchen chair
Am Am E7 E7
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
Dm Dm Am Am
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
F F Am Am F F C C G G C C G G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah



C C C/B C/B Am Am
Maybe Ive been here before
C C C/B C/B Am Am
I know this room Ive walked this floor
F F G G C C G G
I used to live alone before I knew you
C C F F E E
Ive seen your flag on the marble arch
Am Am E7 E7
Love is not a victory march
Dm Dm Am Am
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
F F Am Am F F C C G G C C G G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah



C C C/B C/B Am Am
There was a time you let me know
C C C/B C/B Am Am
Whats real and going on below
F F G G C C G G
But now you never show it to me do you?
C C F F E E
I remember when I moved in you
Am Am E7 E7
The holy dark was moving too
Dm Dm Am Am
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
F F Am Am F F C C G G C C G G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah



C C C/B C/B Am Am
Maybe there's a better bow
C C C/B C/B Am Am
Then all I ever learned from love
F F G G C C G G
Was how to shoot at someone while I drew you
C C F F E E
Its not a cry you can hear at night
Am Am E7 E7
Its not somebody who's seen the light
Dm Dm Am Am
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
F F Am Am F F C C G G C C G G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah



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




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 fool ya

And even though it all went wrong

I'll stand before the Lord of Song

With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah


F F Am Am F F C C G G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu
F F Am Am F F C C G G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu
F F Am Am F F C C G G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu
F F Am Am F F C C G G C C
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
