1. I C
heard there was a Am
secret chord
That C
David played and it Am
pleased the lord
But F
you don't really G
care for music, C
do you? G
Well it C
goes like this the F
fourth, the G
fifth
The Am
minor fall and the F
major lift
The G
baffled king Em
composing halleAm
lujah
R: HalleF
lujah, halleAm
lujah, halleF
lujah, halleC
lu-u-G
u-u-C
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 hallelujah
R: 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 …
