Hallelujah

Hallelujah
By Leonard Cohen


INTRO
[C] [Am] [C] [Am] [F] [G] [C] [G]


VERSE 1
They [C] say there was a [Am] secret chord that [C] David played and it [Am] pleased the Lord, but [F] you don't really [G] care for music, [C] do you? [G]


Well, [C] it goes like this the [F] fourth, the [G] fifth, the [Am] minor fall, the [F] major lift, the [G] baffled king [E7] composing Halle [Am] lujah.


VERSE 2
You [C] say I took the [Am] name in vain but [C] I don’t even [Am] know the name, but [F] if I did, well [G] really, what’s it [C] to you? [G]


There’s a [C] blaze of light in [F] every [G] word so it [Am] doesn’t matter [F] which you heard, the [G] holy or the [E7] broken Halle [Am] lujah.


VERSE 3
Well, [C] maybe there's a [Am] God above, but [C] all I've ever [Am] learned from love was [F] how to shoot some [G] body who out [C] drew ya. [G]


And it's [C] not a cry that you [F] hear at [G]night, it's [Am] not somebody who's [F] seen the light, it's a [G] cold and it's a [E7] broken Halle [Am] lujah.


VERSE 4
I [C] did my best, it [Am] wasn’t much, I [C] couldn’t feel, so I [Am] tried to touch, I [F] wouldn’t lie, I [G] didn’t come to [C] fool you. [G]


And [C] even though it [F] all went [G] wrong, I’ll [Am] stand before the [F] lord of song with [G] nothing on my [E7] tongue but Halle [Am] lujah.


CHORUS
Halle [F] lujah, Halle [Am] lujah
Halle [F] lujah, Halle [C] lu [G] jah [C]
