Hallelujah, Leonard Cohen

Intro: C      G

         C                 Am
Now I've 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
It goes like this: the fourth, the fifth
    Am              F
The minor fall, the major lift
    G               E           Am
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
     F           Am          F           C G C    G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallel-u-jah


     C                         Am
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
She tied you to a kitchen chair
    Am                        F
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
    G                  E             Am
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
     F           Am          F           C G C    G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallel-u-jah


    C              Am
You say I took the Name in vain
C            Am
I don't even know the Name
    F              G                 C      G
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
          C                 F     G
There's a blaze of light in every word
   Am             F
It doesn't matter which you heard
    G           E           Am
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
     F           Am          F           C G C    G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallel-u-jah


C               Am
Baby, I've been here before
  C                    Am
I know this room, 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 vict'ry march
       G               E           Am
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
     F           Am          F           C G C    G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallel-u-jah


    C               Am
Now maybe there's a God above
    C          Am
But all I ever learned from love
    F               G              C       G
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
         C                 F       G
And it's not a cry you can hear at night 
         Am                     F
And it's not some pilgrim who's seen the light
       G               E           Am
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
     F           Am          F           C G C    G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallel-u-jah


  C               Am
I did my best, it wasn't much
  C                   Am
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
     F                 G              C       G
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
    C              F        G
And even though it all went wrong
     Am               F
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
     G             E               Am
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
     F           Am          F         C   G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
     F           Am          F         C   G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
     F           Am          F         C   G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
     F           Am          F         C   G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
     F           Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah...
