[verse]
E C#m
Now I've heard there was a secret chord
E C#m
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
A B E B
But you don't really care for music, do you?
E A B
It goes like this the fourth, the fifth
C#m A
The minor fall, the major lift
B G#7 C#m
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
A C#m A E B E B
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah
[verse]
E C#m
Your faith was strong, but you needed proof
E C#m
You saw her bathing on the roof
A B E B
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
E A B
She tied you to a kitchen chair
C#m A
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
B G#7 C#m
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
A C#m A E B E B
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah
[verse]
E C#m
You say I took the name in vain
E C#m
I don't even know the name
A B E B
But if I did, well really, what's it to ya?
E A B
There's a blaze of light in every word
C#m A
It doesn't matter which you heard
B G#7 C#m
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
A C#m A E B E B
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah
[verse]
E C#m
I did my best, it wasn't much
E C#m
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
A B E B
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool ya
E A B
And even though it all went wrong
C#m A
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
B G#7 C#m
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
[outro]
A C#m A E B
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
A C#m A E B
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
A C#m A E B
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
A C#m A E B E
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
