As recorded by Sarah McLachlan (From the 2022 Album HERE IT IS: A TRIBUTE TO LEONARD COHEN) [Intro] C Am C Am C Am C Am [Verse 1]
     C                 Am
I've heard there was a secret chord

C                    Am
David played, and it pleased the Lord

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

   C                   F
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth

    Am              F
The minor fall, the major lift

    G               E       Am
The baffled king composing "Hallelujah"
[Chorus]
     F           Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

     F           C G C  Am  C  Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Verse 2]
     C                        Am
Your faith was strong but you needed proof

    C               Am
You saw her bathing on the roof

    F             G             C        G
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya

    C             F
She tied you to a kitchen chair

G   Am                     F
She broke your throne, she cut your hair

    G                  E7         Am
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
[Chorus]
     F           Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

     F           C G C  Am  C  Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Verse 3]
C               Am
Maybe there's a God above

    C                Am
For me all I've ever learned from love

F                G           C        G
How to shoot somebody who outdrew you

     C                  F
It's not a cry that you hear at night

     Am                     F
It's not some pilgrim who's seen the light

       G               E7     Am
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
[Chorus]
     F           Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

     F           C G C Am  C  Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Verse 4]
C              Am
Baby I've been here before

  C                 Am
I know this room, I walked this floor

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

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

Am            F
Love is not a victory march

       G               E7     Am
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
[Chorus]
     F      Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

     F           C G C Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Sax Solo] C Am C Am C Am C Am C Am C Am [Verse 5]
     C                Am
I've done my best, it wasn't much

  C                   Am
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch

F                 G                   C        G
Told the truth, I didn't come here to fool you

    C              F        G
And even though it all went wrong

     Am               F
I'll stand before the Lord of song

     G             E          Am
With nothing on my tongue but hallelujah
[Out-Chorus]
   F        Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

F                C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

F           Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

F                C G F  Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

   F      C G C      Am
Hallelujah,   Hallelujah

C     Am C Am      C    Am  C
Hallelujah,   Hallelujah
