Hallelujah (video)

C Am

1. Well, 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 - Am - C - Am

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu……..jah.

C Am

2. 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 you.

C F G

As he tied you to her kitchen chair,

Am F

as she broke your throne and she cut your hair,

G Em Am

and from your lips she drew the hallelujah

F Am F C - G C - Am - C - Am

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu……..jah.

C Am

3. 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 you.

C F G

I've seen your flag on the marble arch,

Am F

but love is not a victory march

G Em Am

it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.

F Am F C - G C -Am -C -Am -F -C -G

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu……..jah.

C Am

4. 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 you ?

C F G

But remember when I moved in you,

Am F

and the holy dove was moving, too,

G Em Am

and every breath we drew was hallelujah.

F Am F C - G C - Am - C - Am

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu……..jah.

C Am

5. Well, maybe there's a god above,

C Am

but all I've ever learned from love,

F G C - G

was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you.

C F G

And it's not a cry that you hear at night,

Am F

it's not somebody who's seen the light,

G Em Am

it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.

F Am F C - G

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu……..

F Am F C - G

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu…….. (….)
