Standard (EADGBE)
6/8 Time: Intro
I heard there was a secret chord, that David played and it pleased the Lord,
( )
But you don't really care for music do you? It goes like this the fourth the fifth,
the minor fall, the major lift, the baffled king composing hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-u-u-jah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof, you saw her bathing on the roof.
( )
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you. She tied you to a kitchen chair,
She broke your throne, she cut your hair, and from your lips she drew the hallelujah.
Chorus
Baby, I've been here before, I know this room, I've walked this floor,
( )
I used to live alone before I knew you. I've seen your flag on the marble arch,
love is not a victory march, it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.
Chorus
There was a time, you let me know, what's real and going on below
( )
But now you never show it to me do you? And remember when I moved in you
and the holy dove was moving too, And every breath we drew was hallelujah.
Chorus
Maybe there's a God above, and all I ever learned from love
( )
was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you. And it's not the cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light, It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-u-u-jah
