Verse 1
       A                            F#m
I've heard about this baby boy
               A                           F#m
Who's come to earth to bring us joy
        D                               E               A       E
And I just want to sing this song to you.
         A                           D                 E
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
        F#m                        D
The minor fall, the major lift
              E                             C#m          F#m
With every breath I'm singing Hallelujah


     D         F#m          D          A      E      A
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-u-u-u-ujah



Verse 2
       A                            F#m
A couple came to Bethlehem
               A                           F#m
Expecting child, they searched the inn
        D                               E               A       E
To find a place for You were coming soon.
         A                           D                 E
There was no room for them to stay
        F#m                        D
So in a manger filled with hay
             E                             C#m          F#m
God's only Son was born, oh Hallelujah


   D            F#m         D         A      E      A
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-u-u-u-ujah

Verse 3
       A                            F#m
The shepherds left their flocks by night
               A                           F#m
To see this baby wrapped in light
        D                               E               A       E
A host of angels led them all to You.
         A                           D                 E
It was just as the angels said
        F#m                        D
You'll find Him in a manger bed
             E                             C#m          F#m
Immanuel and Savior, Hallelujah


      D         F#m        D          A      E      A
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-u-u-u-ujah



Verse 4
       A                            F#m
A star shown bright up in the east
               A                           F#m
To Bethlehem, the wisemen three
        D              E               A       E
Came many miles and journeyed long for You.
         A                           D                 E
And to the place at which You were
        F#m                        D
Their frankincense and gold and myrrh
        E        C#m          F#m
They gave to You and cried out Hallelujah


       D        F#m         D           A      E      A
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-u-u-u-ujah



Verse 5
       A                            F#m
I know You came to rescue me
               A                           F#m
This baby boy would grow to be
        D                               E               A       E
A man and one day die for me and you.
         A                           D                 E
My sins would drive the nails in You
        F#m                        D
That rugged cross was my cross, too.
             E                             C#m          F#m
Still every breath You drew was Hallelujah


    D          F#m         D           A      E      A
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-u-u-u-ujah
