Hallelujah

Leonard Cohen

Melody: mi/sol-sol-sol

	C	Am
I h	eard there was a s	ecret chord

	C	Am
That D	avid played and it pl	eased the Lord

	F	G	C	G7
But y	ou don’t really c	are for music, d	o you?

	C	F	E
It g	oes like this, the f	ourth, the f	ifth

	Am	F
The m	inor fall and the m	ajor lift

	G	E	Am
The b	affled king comp	osing hallel	ujah

	F	Am	F	C	G7	C	G7
Hallel	ujah, Hallel	ujah, Hallel	ujah, Hallel	u-	u-	jah

	C	Am
Your f	aith was strong, but you n	eeded proof

	C	Am
You s	aw her bathing	on the roof

	F	G	C	G7
Her b	eauty and the m	oonlight overthr	ew you

	C	F	E
She t	ied you to a k	itchen ch	air

	Am	F
She br	oke your throne, and she c	ut your hair

	G	E	Am
And fr	om your lips she dr	ew the hallel	ujah

	F	Am	F	C	G7	C	G7
Hallel	ujah, Hallel	ujah, Hallel	ujah, Hallel	u-	u-	jah

	C	Am
M	aybe there’s a G	od above

	C	Am
But	all I ever l	earned from love

	F	G	C	G7
Was h	ow to shoot at s	omeone who outdr	ew you

	C	F	E
It’s n	ot a cry you h	ear ton	ight

	Am	F
It’s n	ot some pilgrim who claims to have s	een the light

	G	E	Am
It’s a c	old and very br	oken hallel	ujah

	F	Am	F	C	G7	C	G7
Hallel	ujah, Hallel	ujah, Hallel	ujah, Hallel	u-	u-	jah

	C	Am
You s	ay I took the n	ame in vain

C	Am
I don’t even kn	ow the name

	F	G	C	G7
But	if I did, well r	eally, what’s it t	o you?

	C	F	E
There’s a bl	aze of light in	every w	ord

	Am	F
It d	oesn’t matter wh	ich you heard

	G	E	Am
The h	oly or the br	oken hallel	ujah

	F	Am	F	C	G7	C	G7
Hallel	ujah, Hallel	ujah, Hallel	ujah, Hallel	u-	u-	jah

	C	Am
M	aybe I’ve been h	ere before

	C	Am
I kn	ow this room, I’ve w	alked this floor

	F	G	C	G7
I	used to live al	one before I kn	ew you

	C	F	E
I’ve s	een your flag on the m	arble	arch

	Am	F
L	isten, love is not a v	ictory march

	G	E	Am
No, it’s a c	old it’s a very l	onely hallel	ujah

	F	Am	F	C	G7	C	G7
Hallel	ujah, Hallel	ujah, Hallel	ujah, Hallel	u-	u-	jah

	C	Am
There w	as a time you l	et me know

	C	Am
What’s r	eally going	on below

	F	G	C	G7
But n	ow you never sh	ow it to me, d	o you?

	C	F	E
I rem	ember when I m	oved in y	ou

	Am	F
The h	oly dove, she was m	oving too

	G	E	Am
And	every breath we dr	ew was hallel	ujah

	F	Am	F	C	G7	C	G7
Hallel	ujah, Hallel	ujah, Hallel	ujah, Hallel	u-	u-	jah

	C	Am
I d	id my best, it w	asn’t much

	C	Am
I c	ouldn’t feel, so I l	earned to touch

	F	G	C	G7
I’ve t	old the truth, I didn’t c	ome all this way to f	ool you

	C	F	E
And	even though it	all went wr	ong

	Am	F
I’ll st	and before the L	ord of Song

	G	E	Am
With n	othing on my t	ongue but hallel	ujah

	F	Am	F	C	G7	C	G7
Hallel	ujah, Hallel	ujah, Hallel	ujah, Hallel	u-	u-	jah
