Jeff Buckley: Hallelujah
========================

     C                 Am
1. 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            Em             Am
   The baffled king composing hallelujah
   

        F           Am          F           C    G   C
R: Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah...1. 
   

2. Your faith was strong but you needed proof
   You saw her bathing on the roof
   Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
   She tied you to a kitchen chair
   She broke your throne, she cut your hair
   And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
   

R: Hallelujah, Hallelujah ...
   

3. 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 ya? 
   There's a blaze of light in every word, 
   it doesn't matter which you heard, 
   the holy or the broken Hallelujah. 
   

R: Hallelujah, Hallelujah ...
   

4. Maybe I've been here before
   I seen this room, I've walked this floor
   I used to live alone before I knew you
   I've seen your flag on the marble arch
   love is not a victory march
   It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujahR: Hallelujah, Hallelujah ...
   

5. There was a time you'd let me know
   What's real and going on below
   But now you never show it to me do you?
   Remember when I moved in you?
   The holy dark was moving too
   And every breath we drew was hallelujah
   

R: Hallelujah, Hallelujah ...
   

6. Maybe there's a God above
   But all I've ever learned from love
   Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
   It's not a cry, that you hear at night
   It's not somebody who's seen the light
   It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
   

R: Hallelujah, Hallelujah ...
   

7. 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 ya. 
   And even though it all went wrong, 
   I'll stand before the Lord of Song 
   with nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah 
   

R: Hallelujah, Hallelujah ...
