Introduction: C Am C Am C Am C Am
C Am
Well I' ve heard there was a sacred chord
C Am
David played and it pleased the Lord
F C G
But you don' t really care for music, do ya ?
C
Well it goes like this:
F G Am F
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
G Em Am
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
F Am F C G C Am C Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C Am
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
C Am
You saw her bathing on the roof
F C G
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
C F G
She tied you to her kitchen chair
Am F
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
G Em Am
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
F Am F C G C Am C Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C Am
Oh baby I have been here before
C Am
I' ve seen this room and I' ve walked this floor
F C G
You know I used to live alone before I knew you
C F G
And I' ve seen your flag on the marble arch
Am F
And love is not a victory march
G Em Am
It' s a cold and it' s a broken Hallelujah
F Am F C G C Am C Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C Am
Well there was a time when you let me know
C Am
What' s really going on below
F C G
But now you never show that 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
F Am F C G C Am C Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C Am
Well maybe there is a God above
C Am
But all I' ve ever learned from love
F C G
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
C F G
And it' s not a cry you that 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
F Am F C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F Am F C G C Am C Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
