[Intro] 

 C  Am   C    Am 
 
[Verse]

C                            Am    C  
  I heard there was a secret chord   
                         Am
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,
 Am                F
   The minor fall,   the major lift,
G                     E           Am         Am
  the baffled king composing Hallelujah.
 
[Chorus]
     F       F         Am         Am
Hallelujah,
     F       F         C          G
Hallelujah.
 
[Verse]

C                Am                          
  Your faith was strong but you needed proof, 
 C                           Am
  You saw her bathing on the roof,
F                              G         C      G
  her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you.
    C               F              G     Am    
She tied you to her kitchen chair,   she broke 
                   F
Your crown and she cut your hair
G                       E           Am         Am
  and from you lips she drew the Hallelujah.
 
[Chorus]

     F       F         Am         Am
Hallelujah,
     F       F         C          G
Hallelujah.
 
[Verse]

C                            Am   
  You say I took the name in vain, 
 C                       Am
   I don't even know the name,
F                            
  but if I did, well, really,
 G              C      G
   What's it to you?
C                             F          G    
  There's a blaze of light in every word   and 
   Am                       F
It doesn't matter which you heard,
G                 E           Am         Am
  the holy or the broken Hallelujah.
 
[Chorus]

     F       F         Am         Am
Hallelujah,
     F       F         C          G
Hallelujah.
 
[Verse]

C                   Am           
  I did my best, it wasn't much,
C                        Am
   I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch,
F                      G   
  I've told the truth,    
                      C    G
I didn't come to fool you.
C                             F     G 
  And even though it all went wrong   
     Am               F
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
G                    E               Am         Am
  with nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah.
 
[Chorus]

     F       F         Am         Am
Hallelujah,
     F       F         C          G
Hallelujah.
 
[Chorus]
     F       F         Am         Am
Hallelujah,
     F       F         C          G
Hallelujah.
 
[Solo] 

  C        Am              C               Am             
  F        F      G        C               G              
  C        F      G        Am              F              
  G        E               Am              Am             
 
[End-Chorus]

     F       F         Am         Am
Hallelujah,       halleluja,
     F       F         C          G       C 
Hallelujah        halleluja.
