Hallelujah
Leonard Cohen
57 bpm triplet feel. B7: 1-2-2-2.
Verse 1
G Now I've heard there was a Em secret chord
G That David played, and it Em pleased the Lord
C But you don't really D care for music, do G you? D
G It goes like this, the C fourth, the D fifth
The Em minor fall, the C major lift
The D baffled B7 king composing Em Hallelujah
Chorus
C Hallelujah, Em Hallelujah, C Hallelujah,
G Hallelu- D u- G jah D
Verse 2
G Your faith was strong, but Em you needed proof
G You saw her Em bathing on the roof
C Her beauty and the D moonlight over G threw ya D
G She tied you to a C kitchen D chair
She Em broke your throne, and she C cut your hair
And D from your lips she B7 drew the Em Hallelujah
Chorus
C Hallelujah, Em Hallelujah, C Hallelujah,
G Hallelu- D u- G jah D
Verse 3
G You say I took the Em name in vain
G I don't even Em know the name
C But if I did, well D really, what's it G to ya? D
G There's a blaze of C light in every D word
Em It doesn't matter C which you heard
The D holy or the B7 broken Em Hallelujah
Chorus
C Hallelujah, Em Hallelujah, C Hallelujah,
G Hallelu- D u- G jah D
Verse 4
G I did my best, Em it wasn't much
G I couldn't feel, so Em I tried to touch
C I've told the truth, I D didn't come to G fool ya D
G And even though it C all went D wrong
I'll Em stand before the C Lord of Song
With D nothing on my B7 tongue but Em Hallelujah
