      C                 Am                 C                     Am                   
I've heard there was a secret chord  That David played, and it pleased the Lord
     F                G               C      G
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
    C                  F - - - - - G          Am              F - - G     
It goes like this The fourth, the fifth  The minor fall, the major lift
     G               E           F
The baffled king composing Hallelujah 

  CHORUS:                  
         F              Am               F              C   G    C   G
  Hallel-u-jah,   Hallel-u-jah    Hallel-u-jah,  Hallel-u - u - jah 

(G)   C
Your faith was strong but you needed proof  You saw her bathing on the roof   
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to a kitchen chair  She broke your throne, and she cut your hair   
And from your lips she drew the Halleluja
  CHORUS Repeat

Baby I have been here before  I know this room, I've walked this floor   
I used to live alone before I knew ya.
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
  CHORUS Repeat

There was a time when you let me know  What's really going on below   
But now you never show it to me, do ya?
And remember when I moved in you  The holy dove was moving too   
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
  CHORUS Repeat

Maybe there's a God above  But all I’ve ever learned from love   
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew ya
It's not a cry you can hear at night  It’s not somebody who has seen the light  
It's a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
  CHORUS Repeat

You say I took the name in vain  I don't even know the name   
But if I did, well, really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light in every word  It doesn't matter which you heard   
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
  CHORUS Repeat

I did my best, it wasn't much  I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch   
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong  I'll stand before the Lord of Song   
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

  CHORUS repeat x 2
