INTRO

C Am C Am

 

          C                 Am

Well I've heard there was a secreat chord,

     C                   Am

That David played and it pleased the Lord,

    F                         G      C       G

But you don't really care for music, do ya?

   C                   F        G

It goes like this, the 4th, the 5th,

    Am                 F

The minor fall and the major lift,

    G               E7          Am

The baffled king composing hallelujah,

     F           Am          F           C   G   C

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu------jah

 

Am C Am

 

     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 and the moonlight overthrew ya,

    C              F            G

She tied yo to her kitchen chair,

    Am                        F

She broke your throne and she cut your hair,

    G                  E7            Am

And from your lips she drew the hallelujah,

     F           Am          F           C   G   C

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu------jah

 

Am C Am

 

     C              Am

Well baby I've been here before,

  C                       Am

I know this room and I've walked this floor,

  F                     G     C         G

I used to live alone before I knew ya.

         C                     F      G

And I've seen your flag on the marble arch,

    Am            F

And love is not a victory march,

       G               E7          Am

It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah,

     F           Am          F           C   G   C

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu------jah

 

Am C Am

 

      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 ya.

     C               F        G

Well remember when I moved in you,

        Am            F

And the holy dove was moving too,

    G               E7            Am

And every breath we drew was hallelujah,

     F           Am          F           C   G   C

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu------jah

 

Am C Am

 

C                Am

Maybe there is a God above,

    C          Am

But all I ever learned from love,

    F                       G       C       G

Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew ya.

         C                 F        G

And it's not a cry you can hear and night,

     Am                 F

It's not somebody who's seen the light,

       G               E7          Am

It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah,

     F           Am          F           C   G

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-jah

 

     F           Am          F           C   G   C

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu------jah
