Hallelujah Tab

by John Cale


HALLELUJAH- John Cale written by: Leonard Cohen 
Heres that wonderful song from "Shrek." 
Have fun - Peter

   X2
                 
I heard there was a secret chord
                   
that David played and it pleased the Lord 
                                     
But you don't really care for music do ya 
                                  
It goes like this the fourth the fifth 
                        
the minor fall and the major lift 
                               
The baffled king composing hallelujah 
                                            
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

                     
Her faith was strong but she needed proof
                 
You saw her bathing on the roof
                                          
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
                           
She tied you to a kitchen chair
                             
She broke your throne and she cut your hair 
                                    
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah 
                                             
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

             
Maybe i've been here before
                    
I know this room, I've walked this floor
                                           
I used to live alone before I knew you
                                   
I've seen your flag on the marble lodge
                   
and love is not a victory march
                               
It's acold and it's abroken hallelujah
                                            
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

                  
There was a time, you let me know
                 
what's really going on below 
                                     
But now you never showed it to me do ya
                           
I remember when I moved in you
                        
and the holy dove was moving too
                                 
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
                                           
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

                 
And maybe there's a God above  
            
And all I ever learned from love
                                            
is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
                                    
And it's not the cry that you hear tonight 
                            
and it's not somebody who's seen the light
                                
It's acold and it's abroken hallelujah
                                         
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
                                           
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
