C Am
Well I've heard there was a secreat chord,
C Am
That David played and it pleased the Lord,
F G C G
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
C F G
It goes like this, the 4th, the 5th,
Am F
The minor fall and the major lift,
G E7 Am
The baffled king composing hallelujah,
F Am F C G C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu------jah
Am C Am
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 and the moonlight overthrew ya,
C F G
She tied yo to her 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 F C G C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu------jah
Am C Am
C Am
Well baby I've been here before,
C Am
I know this room and I've walked this floor,
F G C G
I used to live alone before I knew ya.
C F G
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch,
Am F
And love is not a victory march,
G E7 Am
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah,
F Am F C G C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu------jah
Am C Am
C Am
There was a time when you let me know,
C Am
What's really going on below,
F G C G
But now you never show it to me do ya.
C F G
Well remember when I moved in you,
Am F
And the holy dove was moving too,
G E7 Am
And every breath we drew was hallelujah,
F Am F C G C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu------jah
Am C Am
C Am
Maybe there is a God above,
C Am
But all I ever learned from love,
F G C G
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew ya.
C F G
And it's not a cry you can hear and 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,
F Am F C G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-jah
F Am F C G C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu------jah
