Leonard Cohen – Hallelujah (Ukulele Fingerpicking)

         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               B            Em
The baffled king composing "Hallelujah"

     C           Em
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

     C           G  D G    D
Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah

     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 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
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

     C           G  D G    D
Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah

G              Em
Baby I've been here before

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

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

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

    Em            C
But Love is not a victory march

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

     C           Em
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

     C           G  D G    D
Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah

G                    Em
There was a time you let me know

       C            Em
What's really going on below

    C             D              G         D
But now you never show it to me, do you?

      G             C
And remember when I moved in you

    Em            C
The holy dove was moving too

    D               B             Em
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

     C           Em
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

     C           G  D G    D
Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah

    G              Em
You say I took the name in vain

    C            Em
But I don't even know the name

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

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

   Em             C
It doesn't matter which you heard

    D           B           Em
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

     C           Em
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

     C           G  D G    D
Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah

G               Em
Maybe there's a God above

    C             Em
But all I've ever learned from love

    C                D           G          D
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you

         G                  C
And it's not a cry that you hear at night

     Em                 C
It's not somebody who's seen the light

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

     C           Em
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

     C           G  D G    D
Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah

  G               Em
I did my best, it wasn't much

  C                   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 you

    G              C
And even though it all went wrong

     Em               C
I'll stand before the Lord of Song

     D             B               Em
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

     C           Em
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

     C           G  D G    D
Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah
