I G heard there was a Em secret chord that G David played and it Em pleased the Lord

but C you don't really D care for music G do you? D

well it G goes like this the C fourth the D fifth the Em minor fall and the C major lift

the D baffled king B7 composing Em3 D Halle-C-lujah

Halle-Em-lujah Halle-C-lujah Halle-G-luuuu-D/F#-uuu-G-jah G Em G Em

G well your faith was strong but you Em needed proof G you saw her bathing Em on the roof

her C beauty and the D moonlight G overthrew you D

she G tied you to her C kitchen D chair, she Em broke your throne and she C cut your hair

and D from your lips you B7 drew an Em3 Hallelujah

G baby I've been Em here before i've G seen this room and I've Em walked this floor

i C used to live D alone before I G knew you D

and I've G seen your flag on the C marble D arch and Em love is not a C victory march

it's a D cold and it's a B7 broken Em3 Hallelujah

G there was a time when you Em let me know what's G really going Em on below

but C now you never D show that to me G do you? D

but G remember when I C moved in D you and the Em holy dove was C moving too

and D every breath we B7 drew was Em3 Hallelujah

G maybe there's a Em God above but G all I've ever Em learned from love

was C how to shoot at D somebody who G outdrew D you

and G it's not a cry that you C hear at D night it's Em3 not somebody who's C seen the light

it's a D cold and it's a B7 broken Em3 Hallelujah

C Hallelujah Em Hallelujah C Hallelujah G D/F# Halleluuuu G

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Halleluuuuujah
