NOTES:
Throughout the song Damien will do hammer ons and pull offs in various spots.
the only time hes played this song is live (i think) so theres the beautiful thing, you can
improv and do licks here and there. dont go crazy tho because this song is elegant and doesnt
need anything wild. i know this is right because ive played with the youtube video.
Have Fun!
Lyrics:
Verse
G Em7
I heard there was a secret chord
G Em7
That david played and it pleased the lord
C D G D
But you don't really care for music, do you
G C D
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
Em7 C
The minor fall and the major lift
D B B Em7
The baffled king composing hallelujah
Chours
C Em C G D G D
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah ....
Verse
Well 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 her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
Chorus
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah .... .
Verse
Baby i've been here before
I've seen this room and i've walked this floor
I used to live alone before i knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
Chorus
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah ....
Verse
Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you
But remember when i moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
Chorus
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah ....
Verse
Well, maybe there's a god above
But all i've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
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
Chorus
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah ....
