Leonard Cohen

Hallelujah

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

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

 G               Em	 
Maybe I've been here before
    G                  Em
I know this room I've walked this floor
  C              D              G      D 
I used to live alone before I knew you
     G		           C     D
Ive seen your flag on the marble arch
 Em            C
Love is not a victory march
        D             B          Em
It’s a conan it’s a broken hallelujah
      C	          Em	      C	          G D G  D
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah      

       G              Em	
There was a time you let me know
       G             Em
Whats real and going on below
     C              D            G     D 
But now you never show it to me do you?
     G		   C        D
I remember when I moved in you
     Em            C
The holy dark was moving too
    D                 B            Em
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
      C	          Em	      C	          G D G  D
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah

 G               Em	
Maybe there’s a better bow
     G           Em	
Then all I ever learned from love
     C               D                G      D 
Was how to shoot at someone while I drew you
     G		       C       D
Its not a cry you can hear at night
     Em                C
Its not somebody whos seen the light
        D             B          Em
It’s a conan it’s a broken hallelujah
      C	          Em	     C	          G D G  D
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah

     G              Em	 
You say I took the name in vain
   G           Em
I don't even know the name
    C               D                 G   D 
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
            G	            C      D
There's a blaze of light in every word
    Em		    C
It doesn't matter which you heard
     D            B          Em
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
      C	          Em	      C	          G D G  D
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah
 
   G               Em	 
I did my best, it wasn't much
   G                    Em
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
      C                 D              G    D 
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
    G	           C          D
And even though it all went wrong
       Em		       C
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
      D             B               Em
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

      C	          Em	      C	          G  D 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu
      C	          Em	      C	          G  D 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu
      C	          Em	      C	          G  D 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu
      C	          Em	      C	          G  D  G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
