Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen)

CAmC
I heard there was a secret chord that David
AmF
played and it pleased the Lord, but you don't
GCGC
really care for music do ya? It goes like
FGAm
this: the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the
FGEAm
major lift, the baffled king composing hallelujah
[chorus]:
    FAmF
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
    CGCG
    Hallelu jah
CAm
Your faith was strong but you needed proof. You
CAmF
saw her bathing on the roof. Her beauty and the
GCGC
moonlight overthrew ya. She tied you to a
FGAm
kitchen chair. She broke your throne, and she
     
FGE
cut your hair. And from your lips she drew the
Am
Hallelujah.
[chorus]
CAmC
You say I took the name in vain. I don't even
AmFG
know the name. but if I did, well really, what's
CGCF
it to ya? There's a blaze of light in every
GAmF
word. It doesn't matter which you heard, the
GEAm
holy or the broken Hallelujah
[chorus]
CAmC
Baby, I've been here before I know this room
AmFG
I've walked this floor I used to live alone
CGC
before I knew ya. I've seen your flag on the
FGAmF
marble arch. Love is not a victory march. It's a
     
GEAm
cold and it's a broken hallelujah
[chorus]
CAmC
There was a time you let me know what's really
AmFG
going on below, but now you never show that to
CGCFG
me do ya? I remember when I moved in you The
AmFG
holy dove was moving too And every breath we
EAm
drew was hallelujah
[chorus]
CAmC
I did my best, it wasn't much, I couldn't feel,
AmF
so I tried to touch, I've told the truth, I
GCGCF
didn't come to fool ya. And even though it all
GAmF
went wrong, I'll stand before the Lord of Song
GEAm
with nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
     
[chorus]
CAmC
Maybe there's a God above, but all I've ever
AmFG
learned from love was how to shoot somebody who
CGCFG
outdrew ya. It's not a cry you hear at night,
AmF
it's not somebody who's seen the light. It's a
GEAm
cold and it's a broken hallelujah
[chorus]
