1. I've heard there was a secret chord
C Ami
That David played, and it pleased the Lord.
F G C G
But you don't really care for music, do you?
C F G
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
Ami F
The minor fall, the major lift
G E7 Ami
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

F Ami
R: Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F C G C
Hallelujah, Hallelu-uuuu-ujah
C Ami
2. Your faith was strong but you needed proof
C Ami
You saw her bathing on the roof
F G C G
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
C F G
She tied you To a kitchen chair
Ami F
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
G E7 Ami
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
R:
C Ami
3. You say I took the name in vain
C Ami
I don't even know the name
F G C G
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
C F G
There's a blaze of light In every word
Ami F
It doesn't matter which you heard
G E7 Ami
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
R:
C Ami
4. I did my best, it wasn't much
C Ami
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
F G C G
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
C F G
And even though It all went wrong
Ami F
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
G E7 Ami
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
