[Intro]
G Em G Em
[Verse 1]
G Em
I heard there was a secret chord
G Em
That David played and it pleased the lord
C D G D
But you don't really care for music, do you?
G C D
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
Em C
The minor fall and the major lift
D B7 Em
The baffled king composing hallelujah
C Em C G D G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah
Em G Em
[Verse 2]
G Em
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
G Em
You saw her bathing on the roof
C D G D
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
G C D
She tied you to her kitchen chair
Em C
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
D B7 Em
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
C Em C G D G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah
Em G Em
[Verse 3]
G Em
Baby I've been here before
G Em
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
C D G D
I used to live alone before I knew you
G C D
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Em C
But love is not a victory march
D B7 Em
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
C Em C G D G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah
Em G Em
[Verse 4] (x2)
G Em
Well there was a time when you let me know
G Em
What's really going on below
C D G D
But now you never show that to me do you
G C D
But remember when I moved in you
Em C
And the holy dove was moving too
D B7 Em
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
C Em C G D G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah
Em G Em
