Intro: E | C#m | E | C#m

     E                 C#m
I’ve heard there was a secret chord
     E                   C#m
That David played and it pleased the Lord,
    A                B              E       B
But you don’t really care for music do you?
   E                   A           B
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth.
    C#m                A
The minor fall and the major lift.
    B               G#m         C#m
The baffled King composing Hallelujah.

Chorus:
          A           C#m
     Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
          A           E  B E    B
     Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah.

     E                        C#m
Your faith was strong but you needed proof.
    E               C#m
You saw her bathing on the roof,
    A             B             E          B
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you.
    E             A         B
She tied you to a kitchen chair.
    C#m                    A
She broke your throne, she cut your hair.
    B                    G#m         C#m
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah.

Chorus:
          A           C#m
     Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
          A           E  B E    B
     Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah.

E                 C#m
Maybe I have been here before,
  E                    C#m
I know this room, I’ve walked this floor,
  A               B           E         B
I used to live alone before I knew you,
     E                     A      B
I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch,
C#m           A
Love is not a vict’ry march.
       B                 G#m       C#m
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah.

Chorus:
          A           C#m
     Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
          A           E  B E    B
     Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah.

      E                   C#m
There was a time when you let me know
       E             C#m
What’s really going on below,
    A             B            E        B
But now you never show it to me do you?
      E             A        B
And remember when I moved in you,
    C#m           A
The holy dark was moving too.
    B               G#m           C#m
And ev’ry breath we drew was Hallelujah.

Chorus:
          A           C#m
     Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
          A           E  B E    B
     Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah.

E               C#m
Maybe there’s a God above
    E          C#m
And all I ever learned from love
    A                 B            E         B
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you.
         E                 A       B
And it’s not a cry you can hear at night,
     C#m                A
It’s not somebody who’s seen the light.
       B                 G#m       C#m
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah

Chorus:
          A           C#m
     Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
          A           E B
     Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
          A           C#m
     Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
          A           E  B E
     Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah.
