Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hellelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof; you saw her bathing on the roof,
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair; she broke your throne and cut your hair,
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Chorus
G Em7/B G Em7
You say I took the name in vein; I don even know the name,
But if I did, well really, what to you?
There a blaze of light in every word; it doesn matter which you heard,
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
Chorus
G Em7/B G Em7 C9 D G
