Hallelujah

Leonard Cohen


I heard there was a secret chord /G Em
that David played and it pleased the Lord, /G Em
But you don't really care for music do you./ C D G D
It goes like this the fourth the fifth, /G C D
the minor fall and the major lift /Em C D
The baffled king composing hallelujah /D B7 Em

Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja/ C Em C G-D-G

Your faith was strong but you needed proof /G Em
You saw her bathing on the roof /G Em
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you / C D G D
She tied you To a kitchen chair /G C D
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair /Em C D
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah /D B7 Em

Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja/ C Em C G-D-G

Baby I have been here before /G Em
I know this room, I've walked this floor /G Em
I used to live alone before I knew you. / C D G D
I've seen your flag on the marble arch /G C D
Love is not a victory march /Em C D
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah /D B7 Em

Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja/ C Em C G-D-G

There was a time you let me know /G Em
What's really going on below /G Em
But now you never show it to me, do you? / C D G D
And remember when I moved in you /G C D
The holy dove was moving too /Em C D
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah /D B7 Em

Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja/ C Em C G-D-G

You say I took the name in vain /G Em
I don't even know the name /G Em
But if I did, well really, what's it to you? / C D G D
There's a blaze of light In every word /G C D
It doesn't matter which you heard /Em C D
The holy or the broken Hallelujah /D B7 Em

Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja/ C Em C G-D-G

I did my best, it wasn't much /G Em
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch /G Em
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you / C D G D
And even though It all went wrong /G C D
I'll stand before the Lord of Song /Em C D
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah /D B7 Em

Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja/ C Em C G-D-G
