Hallelujah

Intro: C Am C Am

C Am

Now 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 F

The baffled king composing, Hallelujah.

F Am F

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

C G C G

Hallelu - jah.

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 you.

C F G

She tied you to a kitchen chair,

Am F

She broke your throne, and she cut your hair,

G E Am

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah.

F Am F

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

C G C G

Hallelu - jah.

C Am

You say I took the name in vain,

C Am

Though I don't even know the name,

F G C G

But if I did, well really, what's it to you?

C F G

There's a blaze of light in every word,

Am F

It doesn't matter which you heard:

G E F

The holy or the broken Hallelujah.

F Am F

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

C G C G

Hallelu - jah.

C Am

I did my best, it wasn't much,

C Am

I couldn't feel so I tried to touch.

F G C G

I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you.

C F G

And even though it all went wrong

Am F

I'll stand before the Lord of Song

G E F

With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah.

F Am F

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

C G C G

Hallelu - jah.
