[Verse 1]

  G                 Em                G                   Em
I heard there was a secret chord 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          Em                 C
Well, it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
    D               D#dim7      Em 
The baffled king composing Hallelujah 

[Chorus]

     C           Em          C           G    D    G 
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu--------jah 

[Verse 2]

           G                        Em                G               Em
Well, your faith was strong but you needed proof, you saw her bathing on the roof
    C                       D    G          D
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you 
    G               C       D          Em                        C
She tied you to her kitchen chair, she broke your throne and she cut your hair
    D                  D#dim7      Em
And from your lips you drew a Hallelujah 

[Chorus]

     C           Em          C           G    D    G 
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu--------jah 

[Verse 3]

G               Em                G                       Em
Baby, I've been here before, 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        Em            C
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch and love is not a victory march 
       D               D#dim7      Em
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah 
 
[Chorus]

     C           Em          C           G    D    G 
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu--------jah 

[Verse 4]

      G                   Em                  G            Em
There was a time when you let me know, what's really going on below 
    C                       D     G           D
But now you never show that to me do you? 
      G             C        D           Em            C
But remember when I moved in you and the holy dove was moving too 
    D               D#dim7        Em
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah 

[Chorus]

     C           Em          C           G    D    G 
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu--------jah 

[Verse 5]

G               Em             G             Em
Maybe there's a God above, but all I've ever learned from love 
    C                      D        G           D
Was how to shoot at somebody who outdrew you
         G                  C       D           Em                 C
And it's not a cry that you hear at night, it's not somebody who's seen the light 
       D               D#dim7      Em
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah 

[Chorus]

     C           Em          C           G    D
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-----
     C           Em          C           G    D    G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu--------jah
