Chords

[Verse 1]
         G                   Em
Now I've heard there was a secret chord

     G                      Em
That David played, and it pleased the Lord

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

   G                  C           D
It goes like this the fourth, the fifth

    Em              C      
The minor fall, the major lift

    D               B7          Em
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

     C           Em          C           G  D G  D
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah
[Verse 2]
     G                         Em
Your faith was strong, but you needed proof

    G               Em
You saw her bathing on the roof

    C              D             G        D
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya

    G             C       D
She tied you to a kitchen chair

    Em                         C            
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair

    D                  B7            Em
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

     C           Em          C           G  D G  D
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah
[Verse 3]
    G              Em
You say I took the name in vain

G            Em
I don't even know the name

    C              D                 G      D
But if I did, well really, what's it to ya?

          G                 C     D
There's a blaze of light in every word

   Em             C           
It doesn't matter which you heard

    D           B7          Em
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

     C           Em          C           G  D G  D
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah
[Verse 4]
  G               Em
I did my best, it wasn't much

  G                   Em
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch

     C                 D                    G   D
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool ya

    G              C        D
And even though it all went wrong

     Em               C      
I'll stand before the Lord of Song

     D             B7              Em
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
[Outro]
     C           Em          C           G D
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

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

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

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