[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.
