[verse 1]
  Db                 Bbm
I heard there was a secret chord
     Db                   Bbm
That David played and it pleased the lord
Gb                    Ab
But you don't really care for music,
  Db        Ab
do you?
        Db                  Gb
Well it goes like this the fourth,
      Ab
the fifth
    Bbm                 Gb
The minor fall and the major lift
    Ab            F7             Bbm
The baffled king composing hallelujah

[chorus]
     Gb           Bbm          Gb
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
        Db    Ab   Db      Bbm Db Bbm
hallelu-u-u-u-u-u-ujah ....

[verse 2]
           Db
Well, your faith was strong but
     Bbm
you needed proof
    Db               Bbm
You saw her bathing on the roof
    Gb
Her beauty and
     Ab             Db            Ab
the moonlight overthrew you
    Db               Gb       Ab
She tied you to her kitchen chair
    Bbm
She broke your throne and
     Gb
she cut your hair
    Ab
And from your lips
     F7            Bbm
she drew the hallelujah

[chorus]
     Gb           Bbm          Gb
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
        Db    Ab   Db      Bbm Db Bbm
hallelu-u-u-u-u-u-ujah ....

[verse 3]
Db               Bbm
Baby, I've been here before
     Db
I've seen this room and
      Bbm
I've walked this floor
  Gb             Ab
I used to live alone
           Db          Ab
before I knew you
     Db                     Gb      Ab
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
    Bbm               Gb
But love is not a victory march
       Ab               F7          Bbm
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

[chorus]
     Gb           Bbm          Gb
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
        Db    Ab   Db   Bbm Db Bbm
hallelu-u-u-u-u-u-ujah ....
Gb Gbmaj7 Db Dbmaj7

[verse 4]
            Db
Well, there was a time
          Bbm
when you let me know
       Db            Bbm
What's really going on below
    Gb             Ab
But now you never show that to me
  Db        Ab
do you
      Db             Gb        Ab
But remember when I moved in you
        Bbm            Gb
And the holy dove was moving too
    Ab               F7            Bbm
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

[chorus]
     Gb           Bbm          Gb
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
        Db    Ab   Db      Bbm Db Bbm
hallelu-u-u-u-u-u-ujah ....

[verse 5]
      Db               Bbm
Well, maybe there's a god above
    Db             Bbm
But all I've ever learned from love
    Gb                Ab
Was how to shoot somebody
         Db          Ab
who outdrew you
     Db                  Gb       Ab
It's not a cry that you hear at night
     Bbm                 Gb
It's not somebody who's seen the light
       Ab               F7          Bbm
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

[outro]
     Gb           Bbm          Gb
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
        Db    Ab
hallelu-u-u-u ....
     Gb           Bbm          Gb
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
        Db    Ab
hallelu-u-u-u ....
     Gb           Bbm         Gb
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
        Db    Bbm  Db
hallelu-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-ujah ....
Bbm        Db   Ab     Db
    Halleluuuuuuuujah
