[Verse]
I Gheard there was a Emsecret chord, that GDavid played, and it Empleased the Lord.
But Cyou don't really Dcare for music, Gdo ya?D  
Well, it Ggoes like this, the Cfourth, the Dfifth, the Emminor fall, the Cmajor lift,
The Dbaffled king comB7posing HalleEmlujah.Em  
[Chorus]
HallelCujah, halleEmlujah, halleClujah, hallelGujDahG.Em  G  Em  
[Verse]
Your Gfaith was strong but you Emneeded proof, you Gsaw her bathing Emon the roof,
Her Cbeauty in the Dmoonlight overGthrew ya.’D  
Well, she Gtied you to a Ckitchen Dchair, she Embroke your throne, and Ccut your hair,
And Dfrom your lips she B7drew HalleEmlujah.Em  
[Chorus]
HallelCujah, hallelEmujah, hallelCujah, hallelGujDahG.Em  G  Em  
[Verse]
GBaby, I’ve been Emhere before, I’ve Gseen this room and I’ve Emwalked the floor.
I Cused to live aloDne before I knGew ya.'D  
But I’ve Gseen your flag on the Cmarble arDch, our Emlove is not a Cvictory march,
It's a Dcold and it’s a B7broken halleEmlujah.Em  
[Chorus]
HallelCujah, hallelEmujah, hallelCujah, hallelGujDahG.Em  G  Em  
[Verse]
GMaybe there's a Emgod above, but Gall I’ve ever Emlearned from love,
Is Chow to shoot someDbody who outGdrew ya,D  
But it's Gnot a cry that you Chear at Dnight, it's Emnot someone who’s Cseen the light,
It's a Dcold and B7broken halleEmlujah.Em  
[Chorus]
HallelCujah, hallelEmujah, hallelCujah, hallelGujDahG.Em  G  Em
