Song:	Hallelujah 
By:	Rufus Wainwright

Intro

---C----Am----C----Am---

1st verse

     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             E           Am
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

  F             Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
  F            C     G   C 
Hallelujah, Hallelu-uuu-ujah


[The chords are all the same for the other verses]

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, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe 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

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you'd let me know
What's real and going on below
Remember when I moved in you
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It’s not a 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

   F            Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
   F           C       G
Hallelujah, Hallelu-uuuujah
   F            Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
   F           C     G   C
Hallelujah, Hallelu-uuu-ujah
