(originally by Leonard Cohen)

|
|
Now I've 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
|
The minor fall, the major lift
|
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
|
Hallelujah
|
Hallelujah
|
Hallelujah
|
Hallelujah
|
|
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
|
You saw her bathing on the roof
|
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her
|
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
|
|
I did my best, it wasn't much
|
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
|
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
|
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, Hallelujah
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
|
Hallelujah
|
