 C                      Am7
I've heard there was a secret chord 
     C                     Am7
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 
     Am7             F     G
The minor fall, the major lift 
     G/B             Em7         Am(7)
The baffled king Composing Hallelujah 


      F           Am(7)
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
      F           C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelu--jah 


      C                         Am7
Your faith was strong But you needed proof 
     C                Am7
You saw her bathing On the roof 
     F              G               C
Her beauty and the Moonlight overthrew you 
     C             F        G
She tied you to a kitchen chair 
     Am7                       F        G
She broke your throne And she cut your hair 
      G/B                Em7          Am(7)
And from your lips She drew the Hallelujah 


      F           Am(7)
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
      F           C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelu--jah 


 C               Am7
Maybe I've been here before 
    C                  Am7
I know this room I've walked this floor 
  F              G              C      G
I used to live alone Before I knew you 
      C                     F     G
I've seen your flag On the marble arch 
 Am            F       G
Love is not a victory march 
        G/B              Em7        Am
It's a cold and It's a broken Hallelujah 


      F           Am(7)
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
      F           C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelu--jah 


  C                   Am7
There was a time You let me know 
  C                 Am7
What's really going on below 
     F              G             C      G
But now you never show It to me, do you? 
   C               F    G
I remember when I moved in, you 
      Am            F      G
Your holy dark Was moving too 
      G/B             Em7          Am
And every breath we drew Was Hallelujah 


      F           Am(7)
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
      F           C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelu--jah 


 C               Am7
Maybe there's a God above 
    C           Am7
And all I ever Learned from love 
     F               G               C      G
Was how to shoot At someone Who outdrew you 
             C          F       G
It's not a cry You can hear at night 
          Am7            F        G
It's not somebody Who's seen the light 
        G/B              Em7        Am
It's a cold and It's a broken Hallelujah 


      F           Am(7)
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
      F           C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelu--jah 


      F           Am(7)
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
      F           C G C
Hallelujah, Hallelu--jah
