Hallelujah
this is how its played on the freedom calling album and how he plays it live
Intro: G#m  
Verse 1:
G#mI heard there was a secret chord
that David played and it pleased the LORD
all we want is to play that music for You
it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
the minor fall, the major lift
and all we sing is a broken hallelujah
Chorus:
halleElujah, halleG#mlujah, halleElujah, halleBluF#jah            x2
Instrumental: G#m  
Verse 2:
G#mI know that there is a God above
that is all I've ever known of love
to see His Son there broken, beaten, for me
so while we're here let's sing this song
I want you all to sing along
let's raise a cry, let's raise a hallelujah
Chorus:
Instrumental:   E    G#m    E   B  F#  
Verse 3: 
G#mIn the still and quiet place
I still can feel His warm embrace
although I know the storms they rage around me
to live your dream is quite the cost
just don't look back, and don't get lost
my offering is a broken hallelujah
Chorus:
how many times you sing the Chorus each time is up to you
