Chords

[Intro] E C#m E C#m B [Verse 1]
     E                 C#m
I've heard that there's a secret chord

     E                   C#m
That David played and it pleased the Lord

    A                B             E      B
But you don't really care for music do you?

   E                   A           B
Well It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth

    C#m              A
The minor fall, the major lifts

    B                 G#7        C#m
And the baffled King composing Hallelujah
[Chorus]
     A          C#m
Hallelujah, hallelujah

     A          E B E B
Hallelujah, hallelujah
[Verse 2]
    E                C#m
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof

      E               C#m
You saw her bathing on the roof

       A              B           E    B
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you

     E              A       B
She tied you to her kitchen chair

 C#m                   A
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair

     B              G#7           C#m
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
[Chorus]
     A          C#m
Hallelujah, hallelujah

     A          E B E B
Hallelujah, hallelujah
[Verse 3]
    E              C#m
Darling I've been here before

     E                 C#m
I've seen this room, I've walked these floors

          A              B          E         B
You know I used to live alone before I knew you

       E                    A     B
I've seen your flag on the marble arch

C#m           A
Love is not a victory march

        B               G#7        C#m
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
[Chorus]
     A          C#m
Hallelujah, hallelujah

     A          E B E B
Hallelujah, hallelujah
[Verse 4]
    E                 C#m
There was a time when you let me know

    E                 C#m
What's really going on below

    A              B            E   B
But now you never show that to me, do you?

      E              A         B
I remember when I moved in you

C#m             A
The Holy dove was moving too

     B               G#7       C#m
And every breath it drew was hallelujah
[Chorus]
     A          C#m
Hallelujah, hallelujah

     A          E B E B
Hallelujah, hallelujah
[Verse 5]
    E              C#m
So maybe there's a God above

    E            C#m
But all I ever learned from love

    A             B             E    C#m
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you

     E                  A      B
It's not a cry you can hear at night

     C#m                 A
It's not somebody who's seen the light

        B               G#7       C#m
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
[Chorus]
     A          C#m
Hallelujah, hallelujah

     A          C#m B
Hallelujah, hallelujah

     A          C#m
Hallelujah, hallelujah

     A          E B E
Hallelujah, hallelujah
