Standard tuning (EADGBE)
Capo on the 1st fret
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, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
--
Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She broke your crown and cut your hair
She tied you to her kitchen chair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You say I took the name in vain
Well I don't even know the name
And if I did, well really, what's it to ya?
'cuz there's a blaze of light in every word
It does not matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I did my best, it wasn't much
I could not feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I did not come to fool ya
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah
