Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley / Leonard Cohen

Capo 5 - Intro:

Verse

I’ve heard there was a secret chord that David played and it pleased the Lord

But you don’t really care for music, do you?

It goes like this: the fourth, the fifth

The minor fall, the major lift, the baffled king composing Hallelujah!

Chorus

D G

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah!

Verses

Your faith was strong but you needed proof. You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you.

But she tied you to a kitchen chair

She broke your throne, she cut your hair,

and from your lips she drew the Hallelujah! <play> Chorus

You say I took the name in vain; But 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

It doesn’t matter which you heard,

The holy, or the broken Hallelujah! <play> Chorus

Baby, I’ve been here before. I know this room, I’ve walked this floor.

I used to live alone before I knew you.

I’ve seen your flag on the marble

arch,

Love is not a victory march.

It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah! <play> Chorus

There was a time you let me know What’s really going on below

But now you never show it to me, do you?

I remember when I moved in you,

And the holy dove was moving, too.

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah! <play> Chorus

Now maybe there’s a God above But all I ever learn from love

Is how to shoot at somebody who outdrew you.

And it’s not a cry that you hear at night,

It’s not somebody who’s seen the light,

It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah! <play> Chorus
