1. (Now) I've Esheard there was a Cmisecret chord
That EsDavid played, and it Cmipleased the Lord
But Asyou don't really Bcare for music, Esdo you? B
It Esgoes like this
The Asfourth, the Bfifth
The Cmiminor fall, the Asmajor lift
The Bbaffled king Gcomposing HalleCmilujah
Ref:
HalleAslujah, HalleCmilujah
HalleAslujah, HalleEslu-uuBuu-uEsjah
2. Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Ref.: Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
3. You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
Ref.: Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
4. I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
