Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen

G-Em-G-Em
1.
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
Ref1
Hallelu hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-jah.
2.
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.
Ref2
Hallelu hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-jah.
3.
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 ya?
There's a blaze of light in every word.
It doesn't matter which you heard.
The holy or the broken Hallelujah.
Ref3
Hallelu hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-jah.
4.
I did my best, it wasn't much.
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch.
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool ya.
And even though it all went wrong.
I'll stand before the lord of song.
With nothing on my tongue but hallelujah.
Ref4
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-jah.
