John Cale – Hallelujah (Guitar)

  G              Em  G
I heard there was a secret chord

      G              Em
that David played and it pleased the Lord

     C                D              G
But you don't really care for music do ya

     G                  C          D
It goes like this the fourth the fifth

      Em                 C
the minor fall and the major lift

        D            B          Em
The baffled king composing hallelujah

     C          Em           C            G D   G Em G Em
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

       G                  Em
Your faith was strong but you needed proof

     G              Em
You saw her bathing on the roof

      C              D            G          
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you

      G             C       D
She tied you to a kitchen chair

     Em                       C
She broke your throne and she cut your hair

     D                  B            Em
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

      C          Em          C            G D   G  Em G Em
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

G                 Em
Maybe I've been here before

     G                 Em
I know this room, I've walked this floor

     C           D              G             
I used to live alone before I knew you

      G                      C      D
I've seen your flag on the marble arch

     Em             C
and love is not a victory march

        D               B          Em
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

      C          Em           C           G D   G Em G Em 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

       G              Em
There was a time, you let me know

         G          Em
what's really going on below

     C              D             G   
But now you never showed it to me do ya

     G              C       D
I remember when I moved in you

         Em           C
and the holy dove was moving too

     D               B            Em 
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

     C           Em          C           G D   G Em G Em 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

     G              Em
And maybe there's a God above

     G         Em
And all I ever learned from love

    C               D              G          
is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you

          G                    C     D
And it's not the cry that you hear tonight

          Em                 C 
and it's not somebody who's seen the light

        D               B          Em
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

      C          Em           C          Em
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

      C          Em           C          G D   G Em G Em G D G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
