Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah Chords

[intro]
C  G

[verse 1]
         C                 Am
Now I've heard there was a secret chord
     C                    Am
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
    F                G               C      G
But you don't really care for music, do you?
   C                  F           G
It goes like this the fourth, the fifth
    Am              F
The minor fall, the major lift
    G               E7          Am
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
     F           Am          F           C  G C  G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah

[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 and the moonlight overthrew ya
    C             F       G
She tied you to a kitchen chair
    Am                         F
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
    G                  E7            Am
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
     F           Am          F           C  G C  G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah

[verse 3]
    C              Am
You say I took the name in vain
C            Am
I don't even know the name
    F              G                 C      G
But if I did, well really, what's it to ya?
          C                 F     G
There's a blaze of light in every word
   Am             F
It doesn't matter which you heard
    G           E7          Am
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
     F           Am          F           C  G C  G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah

[verse 4]
  C               Am
I did my best, it wasn't much
  C                   Am
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
     F                 G                    C  G
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool ya
    C              F        G
And even though it all went wrong
     Am               F
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
     G             E7              Am
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

[outro]
     F           Am          F           C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
     F           Am          F           C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
     F           Am          F           C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
     F           Am          F           C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
