I heard there was a secret chord
G Em
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
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
Em C
the minor fall and the major lift
D B7 Em
the baffled king composing hallelujah
C Em C G D G
hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-jah.

G Em
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
G Em
you saw her bathing on the roof
C D G D
her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you.
G C D
She tied you to her kitchen chair
Em C
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
D B7 Em
and from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
C Em C G D G
hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-jah.

Baby I've been here before
G Em
I've seen this room and i've walked this floor
C D G D
I used to live alone before i knew you.

I've seen your flag on the marble arch

but love is not a victory march

hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-jah.

what's really going on below

but now you never show that to me do you.

and the Holy Dove was moving too

and every breath we drew was hallelujah
C Em C G D G
hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-jah.

Well, maybe there is God above

but all I've ever learned from love
C D G D
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you.

it's not somebody who's seen the light
D B7 Em
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
C Em C G D G
hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-jah,
C Em C G D G
hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, halleluuuu-jah.
