play Hallelujah - by Leonard Cohen
from Turn Here - Cogtone 015 - 2009 |E |C#m
Now I've heard there was a secret chord
|E |C#m
That David played and it pleased the Lord
|A |B |E |A B
But you don't really care for music do you
|E |A B |C#m |A
It goes like this the fourth the fifth the minor fall the major lift
|B |Ab |C#m |C#m/B bass
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Chorus |A |A |C#m |C#m |A |A |E |B
Hallelujah… Hallelujah… Hallelujah… Hallelu… jah
Intro
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair broke your throne she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Chorus
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 doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
Chorus
Solo Verse
Chorus
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
Chorus
Now I've heard there was a secret chord
