Written by Leonard Cohen
C Am I've heard there was a secret chord C 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/G# Am The baffled king composing Hallelujah. F Am Hallelujah, Hallelujah F C G C G Hallelujah, Hallelujah 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 | She tied you to a kitchen chair, Am F She broke your throne, she cut your hair, G E/G# Am And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah. F Am Hallelujah, Hallelujah F C G C G Hallelujah, Hallelujah C Am Maybe I have been here before, C Am I know this room, I've walked this floor, F G C G I used to live alone before I knew you C | F G | I've seen your flag on the marble arch. Am F Love is not a victory march, G E/G# Am It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah. F Am Hallelujah, Hallelujah F C G C G Hallelujah, Hallelujah C Am There was a time you let me know C Am What's real and going on below, F G C G But now you never show it to me, do you? C | F G | And remember when I moved in you? Am F The holy dove was moving too, G E/G# Am And every breath we drew was Hallelujah. F Am Hallelujah, Hallelujah F Am G C G Hallelujah, Hallelujah C Am Maybe there's a god above C Am But all I ever learned from love F G C G Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you, C | F G | And it's not a cry you can hear at night, Am F It's not somebody who's seen the light G E/G# Am It's cold and it's a broken Hallelujah. F Am Hallelujah, Hallelujah F Am G Hallelujah, Hallelujah F Am Hallelujah Hallelujah F C G C G Hallelujah Hallelujah
