Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4

            [Intro]
C G


[Verse 1]
         C                 Am
Now 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            Am
The baffled king composing, hallelujah


[Chorus]
     F           Am          F           C  G C   G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu - jah

[Verse 2]
     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 ya
    C             F       G
She tied you to a kitchen chair
    Am                         F
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
    G                  E             Am
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah


[Chorus]
     F           Am          F           C  G C   G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu - jah

[Verse 3]
C               Am
Baby, I've 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           Am
It's a cold, and it's a broken hallelujah


[Chorus]
     F           Am          F           C  G C   G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu - jah


[Verse 4]
      C                   Am
There was a time when you let me know
       C            Am
What's really 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             Am
And every breath we drew was hallelujah


[Chorus]
     F           Am          F           C  G C   G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu - jah


[Verse 5]
C               Am
Maybe there's a God above
    C          Am
And all I ever learned from love
    F               G              C        G
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
     C                 F       G
It's not a cry you can hear at night
     Am                   F
It's not somebody who has seen the light
       G                E           Am
It's a cold, and it's a broken hallelujah


[Chorus]
     F           Am          F           C  G C   G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu - jah


[Verse 6]
    C              Am
You say I took the name in vain
       C            Am
Though I don't even know the name
    F              G                 C      G
But if I did, well really, what's it to ya?
          C                 F     G
There's a blaze of light in every word
   Am             F
It doesn't matter which you heard
    G           E           Am
The holy or the broken hallelujah


[Chorus]
     F           Am          F           C  G C   G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu - jah


[Verse 7]
  C               Am
I did my best, it wasn't much
  C                   Am
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
     F                 G              C       G
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool ya
    C              F        G
And even though it all went wrong
     Am               F
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
     G             E               Am
With nothing on my tongue but hallelujah


[Outro]
     F           Am          F           C G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
     F           Am          F           C G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
     F           Am          F           C G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
     F           Am          F           C G   C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
