[Intro]
| A#dim | -  | Em | -     |

[Verse 1]
Em            G            Em
  Well I heard there was a secret chord
G                         Em
 That David played and it pleased the Lord
    C                    D
But you don't really care for music,
G
do you?
D        G                   C
 Well it goes like this: the fourth,
    D
the fifth
    Em                 C
The minor fall and the major lift
      D             B7/D#       Em
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
     C
Hallelujah

[Chorus]
     Em
Hallelujah
     C
Hallelujah
     G D G
Hallelu_jah

[Verse 2]
Em G
Em          G                   Em
  Your faith was strong but you needed proof
    G               Em
You saw her bathing on the roof
    C              D             G
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
D        G           C            D
 She tied you to her kitchen chair
    Em                        C
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
    D                  B7/D#         Em
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
     C
Hallelujah

[Chorus]
     Em
Hallelujah
     C
Hallelujah
     G D G
Hallelu_jah
Em G Em

[Verse 3]
G                  Em
 My Baby I've been here before
     G                             Em
I've seen this room and I've walked  this floor (you know)
  C                 D         G
I used to live alone before I knew you
D             G                 C          D
 And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
    Em            C
And love is not a victory march
       D               B7/D#       Em
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
     C
Hallelujah

[Chorus]
     Em
Hallelujah
     C
Hallelujah
     G D G
Hallelu_jah

[Verse 4]
Em G
Em      G                   Em
  There was a time when you let me know
G                      Em
 What's really going on  below
    C             D
But now you never show that to me,
G
do you?
D      G             C        D
 But remember when I moved in you
        Em            C
And the holy dove was moving too
    D               B7/D#         Em
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
     C
Hallelujah

[Chorus]
     Em
Hallelujah

[Verse 5]
G               Em
Maybe there's a God above
G                         Em
 And All I've ever learned  from love
    C                  D         G
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
D         G                  C            D
 And it's not a cry that you hear at night
     Em                   C
It's not somebody who has seen the light
       D               B7/D#       Em
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
     C
Hallelujah
