6/8 time : intro C Am C Am
C Am C Am
i heard there was a secret chord , that david played and it pleased the lord ,
F G C G C ( F G )
but you don’t really care for music do you? it goes like this the fourth the fifth ,
Am F G Em Am Am
the minor fall , the major lift , the baffled king composing hallelujah .
F F Am Am F F C G C G
hallelujah , hallelujah , hallelujah , hallelu – u – u – u – jah
C Am C Am
your faith was strong but you needed proof , you saw her bathing on the roof .
F G C G C ( F G )
her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you . she tied you to a kitchen chair ,
Am F G Em Am Am
she broke your throne , she cut your hair , and from your lips she drew the hallelujah .
chorus
C Am C Am
baby , i’ve been here before , i know this room , i’ve walked this floor ,
F G C G C ( F G )
i used to live alone before i knew you . i’ve seen your flag on the marble arch ,
Am F G Em Am Am
love is not a victory march , it’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah .
chorus
C Am C Am
there was a time , you let me know , what’s real and going on below
F G C G C ( F G )
but now you never show it to me do you? and remember when i moved in you
Am F G Em Am Am
and the holy dove was moving too , and every breath we drew was hallelujah .
chorus
C Am C Am
maybe there’s a god above , and all i ever learned from love
F G C G C ( F G )
was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you . and it’s not the cry you can hear at night
Am F G Em Am Am
it’s not somebody who’s seen the light , it’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah .
F F Am Am F F Am G
hallelujah , hallelujah , hallelujah , hallelujah
F F Am Am F F C G C C
hallelujah , hallelujah , hallelujah , hallelu – u – u – u – jah
