[Verse 1]
      C                      Am               C
I've heard there was a secret chord that
                     Am                   Fmaj7
David played and it pleased the Lord, but
                  G              C          Am
You don't really care for music, do ya?
         C                 Fmaj7     G
Well it goes like this: The 4th, the 5th,
     Am             Fmaj7
The minor fall, the major lift,
     G            Em7           Am       Am
The baffled King composing Hallelujah.

[Chorus]
    Fmaj7        Am
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
    Fmaj7        Am   G    C
Hallelujah! Hallelu  ooo  jah!

[Bridge]
Am C Am

[Verse 2]
      C                        Am
Your faith was strong, but you needed proof.
C                   Am
You saw her bathing on the roof.
    Fmaj7           G             C         Am
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya.
     C             Fmaj7   G         Am
She tied you to a kitchen chair, she
                      Fmaj7
Broke your throne, she cut your hair,
     G                  Em7          Am
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah.

[Chorus]
(Strumming pattern is now D,D,U,D,U,D,D,U,D,U,D,D,U,D,U,D,D,U,D,U)
    Fmaj7        Am
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
    Fmaj7        Am   G    C
Hallelujah! Hallelu  ooo  jah!

[Verse 3]
C               Am           C
Baby, I've been here before.
                       Am
I know this room and I walked this floor.
  Fmaj7         G             C         Am
I used to live alone before I knew ya.
C                     Fmaj7   G       Am
Seen your flag on the marble arch and
              Fmaj7
Love is not a victory march
     G               Em7         Am
It's cold and it's a broken Hallelujah!

[Chorus]
    Fmaj7        Am
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
    Fmaj7        Am   G   Fmaj7
Hallelujah! Hallelu  ooo  jah!

[Verse 4]
C               Am
Did my best, it wasn't much.
C                 Am
Couldn't feel, so I tried to touch. I
Fmaj7             G               C       Am
Told the truth, I didn't come to fool ya.
     C             Fmaj7     G       Am
And even though it all went wrong,
                 Fmaj7
Stand before the Lord of song
      G             Em7            Am
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah!

[Chorus]
     Fmaj7       Am
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Hallelujah! Hallelu  ooo  jah!
