Version 1 
            [Intro]
C Am
C Am


[Verse 1]
     C                 Am 
I’ve heard there was a secret chord
     C                   Am
That David played and it pleased the Lord
    F                G              C        G
But you don’t really care for music do you?
   C                   F           G
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
    Am              F
The minor fall, the major lift
    G                Em         Am
The baffled King composing Hallelujah


[Chorus]
     F           Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah
     F           C G C G
Hallelujah, hallelujah


[Verse 2]
      C                       Am
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
      C             Am
You saw her bathing on the roof
       F           G              C         G
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
    C             F       G
She tied you to a kitchen chair
    Am                         F
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
    G                  Em            Am
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah


[Chorus]
     F           Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah
     F           C G C G
Hallelujah, hallelujah


[Verse 3]
C               Am
Maybe I’ve been here before
  C                    Am
I know this room, I’ve walked this floor
   F             G              C      G
I used to live alone before I knew you
     C                     F      G
I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
Am            F
Love is not a victory march
       G               Em          Am
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah


[Chorus]
     F           Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah
     F           C G C G
Hallelujah, hallelujah


[Verse 4]
      C                   Am
There was a time when you let me know
       C            Am
What’s really going on below
     F             G             C      G
But now you never show it to me, do you?
      C             F        G
And remember when I moved in you
    Am            F
The Holy Dove was moving too
    G               Em            Am
And every breath we drew was hallelujah


[Chorus]
     F           Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah
     F           C G C G
Hallelujah, hallelujah


[Verse 5]
C               Am
Maybe there’s a God above
      C         Am
And all I ever learned from love
    F                G               C       G
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
         C                 F       G
And it’s not a cry you can hear at night
     Am                 F
It’s not somebody who’s seen the light
       G               Em          Am
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah


[Chorus]
     F           Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah
     F           C G
Hallelujah, hallelujah
     F           Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah
     F           C G C
Hallelujah, hallelujah
