by Leonard Cohen


This is the correct cords I think, for me it sounds correct. :-) M.Forbord

Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen


                    
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.
                                    
It goes like this the fourth the fifth,              Cale 1
                               
the minor fall and the major lift
                                  
The baffled king composing hallelujah
                                   --
Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluuuja

                            
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
                  
You saw her bathing on the roof
                                         
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her           Cale 2
                             
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

                 
You say I took the name in vain
           
I don't even know the name
                                            
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
                                    
There's a blaze of light in every word
                                
It doesn't matter which you heard                    
                             
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
                                     --
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

             
Baby I've been here before. 
                    
I know this room I've walked this floor.
                                      
I used to live alone before I knew you.
                                                  Cale 3/Cohen 1
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
                        
but love is not a victory march 
                                      
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
                                     --
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

                   
There was a time you let me know
                 
whats really going on below
                                     
but now you never show it to me do you?
                         
I remember when I moved in you                       Cale 4/Cohen 2
                           
and the holy dove was moving too
                                   
and every breath we drew was Hallelujah
                                     --
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

                  
Now maybe there's a God above
             
but all I ever learned from love 
                                         
is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
                                                  Cale 5/Cohen 3
And it's no complaint you hear tonight 
                                       
and it's not some pilgrim who's seen the light
                                    
it's a cold and it's a lonely Hallelujah
                                     --
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

               
I did my best it wasn't much.
                   
I couldn't feel so I learned to touch.
                                              
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you.
                          
And even though it all went wrong,                   Cohen 4
                            
I'll stand before the Lord of Song 
                                    
with nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
                                     --
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
