Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen

1.

GEm

Now I've heard there was a secret chord

GEm

that David played, and it pleased the Lord,

CGD

but you don't really care for music, do you?

GCD

It goes like this the fourth, the fifth,

EmC

the minor fall, the major lift,

DBEm

the baffled king composing hallelujah.

Ref1.

CEmCGDGD

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-jah.

2.

GEm

Your faith was strong, but you needed proof,

GEm

you saw her bathing on the roof.

CGD

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya.

GCD

She tied you to a kitchen chair,

EmC

she broke your throne, and she cut your hair

DBEm

and from your lips she drew the hallelujah.

Ref1.

3.

GEm

Maybe I've been here before,

GEm

I know this room, I've walked this floor,

CGD

I used to live alone before I knew you.

GCD

And I've seen your flag on the marble arch.

EmC

Love is not a victory march,

DBEm

it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.

Ref1.

4.

GEm

Well, maybe there’s a God above,

GEm

but all I’ve ever learned from love

CGD

was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya.

GCD

And it’s not a cry that you hear at night,

EmC

it’s not somebody who's seen the light,

DBEm

it’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah.

Ref2.

CEmCGD

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u...

CEmCGDGDG

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-jah.
