Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen

Now I’ve heard there was a secret chord

That David played and it pleased the Lord

But you don’t really care for music, do you?

It goes like this the fourth, the fifth

The minor fall, the major lift

The baffled king composing hallelujah

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, and she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the 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 you?

There’s a blaze of light in every word

It doesn’t matter which you heard

The holy or the broken hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn’t much

I couldn’t feel, so I try to touch

I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you

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, hallelu… :| …jah
