Written by Leonard Cohen
Intro: G - Em - G - Em G Em I heard there was a secret chord G Em that David played and it pleased the Lord C D G D but you don't really care for music, do you. G C D Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth Em C the minor fall and the major lift D B7 Em the baffled king composing hallelujah C Em C G D G hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-jah. Em - G - Em G Em Well your faith was strong but you needed proof G Em you saw her bathing on the roof C D G D her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you. G C D She tied you to her kitchen chair Em C she broke your throne and she cut your hair D B7 Em and from your lips she drew the Hallelujah C Em C G D G hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-jah. Em - G - Em G Em Baby I've been here before G Em I've seen this room and i've walked this floor C D G D I used to live alone before i knew you. G C D I've seen your flag on the marble arch Em C but love is not a victory march D B7 Em it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah C Em C G D G hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-jah. Em - G - Em G Em Well there was a time when you let me know G Em what's really going on below C D G D but now you never show that to me do you. G C D But remember when I moved in you Em C and the Holy Dove was moving too D B7 Em and every breath we drew was hallelujah C Em C G D G hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-jah. Em - G - Em G Em Well, maybe there is God above G Em but all I've ever learned from love C D G D was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you. G C D It's not a cry that you hear at night Em C it's not somebody who's seen the light D B7 Em it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah C Em C G D G hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-jah, C Em C G D G hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, halleluuuu-jah.
