Hallelujah, performed by Jeff Buckley
Standard Tuning, Capo 5
i heard there was a secret chord
that David played and it pleased the Lord
but you don't really care for music do you?
well it goes like this
the fourth the fifth the minor fall and the major lift
the baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
well your faith was strong but you needed proof
you saw her bathing on the roof
her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
she tied you to her kitchen chair
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
and from your lips you drew an Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
baby I've been here before
i've seen this room and I've walked this floor
i used to live alone before I knew you
and I've seen your flag on the marble arch
and love is not a victory march
it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
there was a time when you let me know
what's really going on below
but now you never show that to me do you?
but remember when I moved in you
and the holy dove was moving too
and every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
maybe there's a God above
but all I've ever learned from love
was how to shoot at somebody who outdrew you
and it's not a cry that you hear at night
it's not somebody who's seen the light
it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Halleluuuu
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Halleluuuuujah
