Well I've heard there was a secret chord,
C chordC Am chordAm
That David played and it pleased the Lord,
F chordF G chordG C chordC G chordG
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
C chordC F chordF G chordG
It goes like this, the 4th, the 5th,
Am chordAm F chordF
The minor fall and the major lift,
G chordG Em chordEm Am chordAm
The baffled king composing hallelujah,
F chordF Am chordAm F chordF C chordC G chordG C chordC
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu------jah

C chordC Am chordAm
Your faith was strong but you needed proof,
C chordC Am chordAm
You saw her bathing on the roof,
F chordF G chordG C chordC G chordG
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya,
C chordC F chordF G chordG
She tied you to her kitchen chair,
Am chordAm F chordF
She broke your throne and she cut your hair,
G chordG Em chordEm Am chordAm
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah,
F chordF Am chordAm F chordF C chordC G chordG C chordC
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu------jah

C chordC Am chordAm
Well baby I've been here before,
C chordC Am chordAm
I know this room and I've walked this floor,
F chordF G chordG C chordC G chordG
I used to live alone before I knew ya.
C chordC F chordF G chordG
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch,
Am chordAm F chordF
And love is not a victory march,
G chordG Em chordEm Am chordAm
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah,
F chordF Am chordAm F chordF C chordC G chordG C chordC
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu------jah

There was a time when you let me know,
C chordC Am chordAm
What's really going on below,
F chordF G chordG C chordC G chordG
But now you never show it to me do ya.
C chordC F chordF G chordG
Well remember when I moved in you,
Am chordAm F chordF
And the holy dove was moving too,
G chordG Em chordEm Am chordAm
And every breath we drew was hallelujah,
F chordF Am chordAm F chordF C chordC G chordG C chordC
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu------jah

C chordC Am chordAm
Maybe there is a God above,
C chordC Am chordAm
But all I ever learned from love,
F chordF G chordG C chordC G chordG
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew ya.
C chordC F chordF G chordG
And it's not a cry you can hear and night,
Am chordAm F chordF
It's not somebody who's seen the light,
G chordG Em chordEm Am chordAm
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah,
F chordF Am chordAm F chordF C chordC G chordG
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-jah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu------jah
