Hallelujah
G Emi
I heard there was a secret chord
G Emi
that David played and it pleased the Lord
C D G
but you don't really care for music do you...
G C D
It goes like this: the fourth the fifth,
Emi C
the minor fall and the major lift,
D Hmi Emi
the baffled king composing hallelujah.
C Emi C G D G
Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja
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.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
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.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
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
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah
