Hallelujah Uke tab by Leonard Cohen

(I usually use the 123432 fingerpicking or DDUU rhythmically works too)
(on the fourth, the fifth or following I cut the finger pick in half or just do one/two quick chords each) 

Do what works for you :)


Intro: # |C Am|C Am|

1st:
C                      Am
I've 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
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
Am                   F
The minor fall, the major lift
G                   E7          Am
The baffled King composing Hallelujah

F               Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah
F                 C-G-C-C
Hallelujah, hallelujah

2nd:
C                     Am
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
C                        Am
You saw her bathing on the roof
F                    G              C      G
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you

C                    F      G
She tied you to a kitchen chair
Am                             F
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
G                       E7          Am
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

F               Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah
F                 C     G     C     C
Hallelujah, hallelujah

3rd:
C                     Am
Maybe I've been here before
C                        Am
I know this room, 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
Love is not a victory march
G                   E7          Am
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

F               Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah
F                 C     G     C     C
Hallelujah, hallelujah


Verse 5:
C                     Am
There was a time when you let me know
C                        Am
What's real and going on below
F                    G              C      G
But now you never show it to me, do you?

C                    F          G
And remember when I moved in you
Am                   F
The Holy Dark was moving too
G                   E7          Am
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

F               Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah
F                 C     G     C     C
Hallelujah, hallelujah


Verse 6:
C                     Am
Maybe there's a God above
C                        Am
And all I ever learned from love
F                    G              C      G
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you

C                    F          G
And it's not a cry you can hear at night
Am                   F
It's not somebody who's seen the light
G                   E7          Am
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah


Ending:
F               Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah
F                 C     G
Hallelujah, hallelujah
F               Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah
F                 C     G     C
Hallelujah, hallelujah
