            / /   / /  / /  / /
           |C   |Am   |C   |Am   |

[verse: 1]
  |C                |Am
I 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
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
    |Am                |F
The minor fall and the major lift
    |G           |E7           |Am
The baffled king composing hallelujah

[chorus:]
    |F     |     |Am   |     |F    |     |C   |G  |C   |Am   |C  |Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah 

[verse: 2]
           C                       |Am
Well 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 yah
  /            /       /      /
| C                   |F      G
She tied you to her kitchen chair
    |Am                       |F
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
    |G                 |E7          |Am
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

[chorus:]
    |F     |     |Am   |     |F    |     |C   |G  |C   |Am   |C  |Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah 

[verse: 3]
|C             |Am
Baby I've been here before
     |C                      |Am
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
  |F             |G           |C      |G  
I used to live alone before I knew yah
 /               /           /      /
|C                         |F      G
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
    |Am                   |F
But love is not a victory march
       |G              |E7         |Am
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

[chorus:]
    |F     |     |Am   |     |F    |     |C   |G  |C   |Am   |C  |Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah 
| F | G C | G | 

[verse: 4]
     |C                        |Am
Well there was a time when you let me know
       |C             | Am
What's really going on below

    |F            |G              |C     | G  
But now you never show that to me do yah
 /            /       /      /
|C                  |F       G
But remember when I moved in you
        |Am             |F
And the holy dove was moving too
    |G              |E7           |Am
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

[chorus:]
    |F     |     |Am   |     |F    |     |C   |G  |C   |Am   |C  |Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah 

[verse: 5]
      |C             |Am
Well, maybe there's a god above
    |C            |Am
But all I've ever learned from love
    |F           |G             |C        |G    | G
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew yah
      /         /        /       /
     |C                 |F       G
It's not a cry that you hear at night
     |Am                |F
It's not somebody who's seen the light
       |G              |E7         |Am    |Am
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

[coda:]
     |F    |     |Am   |     |F    |    |C  |G  
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-jah 
     |F    |     |Am   |     |F    |     |C  |G  
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-jah 
    |F     |     |Am   |     |F    |     |C   |G  |C    {finish}
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah
