Hallelujah chords
Leonard Cohen (live London version)
C Am C Am C Am C Am
C Am
Now I've heard there was a secret chord,
C Am
that David played, and it pleased the Lord
F G C G
But you don't really care for music, do you?
C F G
It goes like this the fourth, the fifth,
Am F
the minor fall, the major lift
G Em Am
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
F
Hallelujah
Am
Hallelujah
F
Hallelujah
C G C G
Hallelu jah
C Am
Your faith was strong but you needed proof,
C Am
you saw her bathing on the roof
F G C G
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
C F G
She tied you to a kitchen chair,
Am F
she broke your throne, and she cut your hair
G Em Am
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
F
Hallelujah
Am
Hallelujah
F
Hallelujah
C G C G
Hallelu jah

C Am
Now, maybe there's a God above,
C Am
and all I ever learned from love,
F G C G
was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
C F G
It's not a cry you can hear at night,
Am F
it's not somebody who's seen the light,
G Em Am
it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
F
Hallelujah
Am
Hallelujah
F
Hallelujah
C G C G
Hallelu jah
C Am
Oh, people, I ve been here before,
C Am
I know this room, I've walked this floor
F G C G
I used to live alone before I knew you.
C F G
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Am F
Love is not a victory march
G Em Am
it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
F
Hallelujah
Am
Hallelujah
F
Hallelujah
C G C G
Hallelu jah
C Am
There was a time you let me know,
C Am
what's really going on below
F G C G
But now you never show it to me, do you?
C F G
And remember when I moved in you
Am F
The holy dove was moving too
G Em Am
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
F
Hallelujah
Am
Hallelujah
F
Hallelujah
C G C G
Hallelu jah
C Am
I ve done my best, it wasn't much,
C Am
I couldn't feel, so I learned to touch
F G C G
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
C F G
And even though it all went wrong
Am F
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
G Em Am
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
F
Hallelujah
Am
Hallelujah
F
Hallelujah
C G C G
Hallelu jah
F
Hallelujah
Am
Hallelujah
F
Hallelujah
C G C G
Hallelu jah
