Leonard Cohen-Hallelujah
[Intro - 86 BPM]G Em G Em
[Verse 1 - Melody starts on note D]
Now I've [G] heard there was a se [Em] cret chord
That [G] David played, and it pl [Em] eased the Lord
But [C] you don't really [D] care for music, do [G] you? [D]
It [G] goes like this the [C] fourth, the [D] fifth
The [Em] minor fall, the [C] major lift
The [D] baffled king com [B7] posing Halle [Em] lujah
Halle [C] lujah, Halle [Em] lujah, Halle [C] lujah,
Halle [G] lu- [D] u- [G] jah [D]
[Verse 2]
Your [G] faith was strong, but you [Em] needed proof
You [G] saw her bathing [Em] on the roof
Her [C] beauty and the [D] moonlight over [G] threw ya [D]
She [G] tied you to a [C] kitchen [D] chair
She [Em] broke your throne, and she [C] cut your hair
And [D] from your lips she [B7] drew the Halle [Em] lujah
Halle [C] lujah, Halle [Em] lujah, Halle [C] lujah,
Halle [G] lu- [D] u- [G] jah [D]
[Verse 3]
You [G] say I took the [Em] name in vain
[G] I don't even [Em] know the name
But [C] if I did, well [D] really, what's it [G] to ya? [D]
There's a [G] blaze of light in [C] every [D] word
It [Em] doesn't matter [C] which you heard
The [D] holy or the [B7] broken Halle [Em] lujah
Halle [C] lujah, Halle [Em] lujah, Halle [C] lujah,
Halle [G] lu- [D] u- [G] jah [D]
[Verse 4]
I [G] did my best, it [Em] wasn't much
I [G] couldn't feel, so I [Em] tried to touch
I've [C] told the truth, I [D] didn't come to fool y [G] a [D]
And [G] even though it [C] all went [D] wrong
I'll [Em] stand before the [C] Lord of Song
With [D] nothing on my [B7] tongue but Halle [Em] lujah
[Outro]
Halle [C] lujah, Halle [Em] lujah,
Halle [C] lujah, Halle [G] lu [D] jah
x 4 - end on [G]
