[G] [Em] [G] [Em]

Well I've [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 ya? [D] ...
It [G] goes like this, the [C//] 4th, the [D//] 5th,
the [Em] minor fall and the [C] major lift,
The [D] baffled king com[Bm]posing Halle[Em] lujah [Em] ...

Halle[C]lujah, halle[Em]lujah,
halle[C]lujah, halle[G//]lu--- uu[D//] uuuh jah

[G] [Em] [G] [Em]

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 her [C//] kitchen [D//] chair,
She [Em] broke your throne and she [C] cut your hair,
And [D] from your lips she [Bm] drew the halle[Em]lujah, [Em] ...

Halle[C]lujah, halle[Em]lujah,
halle[C]lujah, halle[G//]lu--- uu[D//] uuuh jah

[G] [Em] [G] [Em]

May [G]be there is a [Em] God above,
But [G] all I ever [Em] learned from love,
Was [C] how to shoot at [D] someone who out- [G] drew ya. [D] ...
And it's [G] not a cry you can [C//] hear at [D//] night,
It's not [Em] somebody who's [C] seen the light,
It's a [D] cold and it's a [Bm] broken halle- [Em] lujah, [Em] ...

Halle[C]lujah, halle[Em]lujah,
halle[C]lujah, halle[G//]lu--- uu[D//] uuuh jah

[G] [Em] [G] [Em]

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 [G] fool [D] ya.
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 [Bm] tongue but halle- [Em] lujah, [Em] ...

Halle[C]lujah, halle[Em]lujah,
halle[C]lujah, halle[G//]lu-uu-[D//]-uuuh jah [G/]
