LEONARD COHEN
Hallelujah

G ---------------------- E7 -------------------G-------------E7
1) I heard there was a secret chord That David played and it pleased the Lord
2) Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof
3) You say I took the name in vain I don't even know the name
4) Baby I've beeen here before. I know this room I've walked this floor.
5) There was a time you let me know Whats really going on below
6) Now maybe there's a god above But all I ever learned from love
7) I did my best it wasn't much. I couldn't feel so I learned to touch.

C---------------------D------------------ G ---D
1) But you don't really care for music do you?
2) Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
3) But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
4) I used to live alone before I knew you.
5) But now you never show it to me do you?
6) Is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
7) I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you.

G----------------------C-------------D----------Em-------------C------D
1) It goes like this the fourth the fifth, The minor fall and the major lift
2) She tied you to a kitchen chair She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
3)There's a blaze of light in every word It doesn't matter which you heard
4) I've seen your flag on the marble arch But love is not a victory march
5) I remember when I moved in with you And the holy dove was moving too
6) And it's no complaint you hear tonight And it's not some pilgrim who's seen the light
7) And even though it all went wrong, I'll stand before the Lord of Song

E7----------------D---------Em-------C-----Em------C---------G--D--G--
1) The baffled king composing hallelujah Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja
2) And from your lips she drew the hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
3) The holy or the broken hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
4) It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
5) And every breath we drew was hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
6) It's a cold and it's a lonely hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
7) With nothing on my tongue but hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
