HALLELUJAH- John Cale written by: Leonard Cohen Song from "Shrek."
6/8 Time: Intro C Am C Am
C Am C Am
I heard there was a secret chord, that David played and it pleased the Lord,
F G C G C (F G)
But you don't really care for music do you? It goes like this the fourth the fifth,
Am F G Em Am Am
the minor fall, the major lift, the baffled king composing hallelujah.
F F Am Am F F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-u-u-jah
C Am C Am
Your faith was strong but you needed proof, you saw her bathing on the roof.
F G C G C (F G)
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you. She tied you to a kitchen chair,
Am F G Em Am Am
She broke your throne, she cut your hair, and from your lips she drew the hallelujah.
Chorus
C Am C Am
Baby, I've been here before, I know this room, I've walked this floor,
F G C G C (F G)
I used to live alone before I knew you. I've seen your flag on the marble arch,
Am F G Em Am Am
love is not a victory march, it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.
Chorus
C Am C Am
There was a time, you let me know, what's real and going on below
F G C G C (F G)
But now you never show it to me do you? And remember when I moved in you
Am F G Em Am Am
and the holy dove was moving too, And every breath we drew was hallelujah.
Chorus
C Am C Am
Maybe there's a God above, and all I ever learned from love
F G C G C (F G)
was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you. And it's not the cry you can hear at night
Am F G Em Am Am
It's not somebody who's seen the light, It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.
F F Am Am F F Am G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F F Am Am F F C G C C
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-u-u-jah
