      D                 Bm 
Now I've heard there was a secret chord 
     D                   Bm 
That David played and it pleased the Lord 
    G                A               D        A 
But you don't really care for music, do you? 
   D                   G           A 
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, 
    Bm              G 
The minor fall, the major lift, 
    A                F#           Bm 
The baffled king composing, Hallelujah. 


     G           Bm          G 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, 
     D  A D     A 
Hallelu - jah. 


     D                        Bm 
Your faith was strong but you needed proof, 
    D               Bm 
You saw her bathing on the roof 
    G              A                D        A 
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you. 
    D             G       A 
She tied you to a kitchen chair, 
    Bm                         G 
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair, 
    A                  F#             Bm 
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah. 


     G           Bm          G 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, 
     D  A D     A 
Hallelu - jah. 

     D                        Bm 
Maybe there's a God above, 
    D               Bm 
But all I've ever learned from love 
    G              A                D        A 
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you 
    D             G       A 
And it's not a cry that you hear at night 
    Bm                         G 
It's not somebody who's seen the light 
    A                  F#             Bm 
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah  


     G           Bm          G 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, 
     D  A D     A 
Hallelu - jah.
