[Verse 1]
D                               A7          D
There's a man on corner and his clothes are worn

         Bm      A/C#    D
And he's holding out his hand

        G          D      A             Bm*    A    G
You can see in his eyes as the people walk by

    G             D/F#     Em
He knows they don't understand

          G         A                          Bm*
You see, they just think he's gonna take their money

    Bm*          A           G
And then go and spend it on dope

       G            D            A          Bm*     A     G
Then a man stopped by him and I saw a smile inside

      G        A       D
As he gently whispered hope

[Verse 2]
D                                              A7             D
Well the tramp started to cry, just kept saying Why, why, why?

           Bm     A/C#          D
Can't you see I'm a down-and-out

G    D              A              Bm*    A       G
I'm 32 and I've got this one pair of shoes

      G         D/F#     Em
And a bad taste in my mouth

  G         A                          Bm*
I think it's clear to see that even God don't love me

        Bm*        A                G
Or else why would He leave me this way.

     G            D                A               Bm*     A        G
Then Gabriel just smiled and said "Be at peace my child,

G            A    D
Salvation is here today."
[Chorus]
G                D           A7        D    D/F#   G
He got up to his feet and he sang Hallelujah

D               A7                 D   D/F#
People were turning around in the street

G                    D           A7        D    D/F#
He looked them in the eyes and he sang Hallelujah

    G            A              Bm*
There's someone here you gotta meet

G             A         D
Someone you just gotta meet.

[Verse 3]
D                                     A7        D
When the vagabond turned around, well without a sound

  Bm        A/C#             D
Gabriel just smiled and disappeared

G                    D            A               Bm*    A       G
When he looked to the crowd they were laughing out loud

     G         D/F#     Em
But he could not see them for tears

           G         A                            Bm*
When his vision came round there was a young girl on the ground

        Bm*                     A       G
And he knew she was finding it hard to cope

    G            D                A                Bm*  A    G
She never was a fighter until he laid beside her

    G            A       D
And gently whispered hope
[Refrain]
G                D           A7          D    D/F#  G
They got up to their feet and they sang Hallelujah

D               A7               D   D/F#
People in the street were turning around

G                D                     A7        D    D/F#  G
They looked them in the eyes and they sang Hallelujah

D               A7                   D   D/F#
Oh, there's someone here that we have found

           G     D     A7    D    D/F#
They sang, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

G              D          A7        D    D/F#
We are the voices crying in the wilderness

G     D     A7    D    D/F#
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

G                 D                    A7        D           D/F#
The people in the street started their sins to confess and a chorus of

G     D     A7    D    D/F#
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

G     D     A7    D    D/F#
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

      D         A7            D       D/F#
Every knee will bow and every tongue confess

        G        D          A7        D      D/F#
And the voice of one crying in the wilderness

            G     D     A7    D    D/F#
Crying out Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Outro] G D A7 D
