[Intro] [fingerstyle acoustic guitar playing G-C-D progression] [Verse 1] [male baritone vocals] Well I 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 and the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah [Chorus] Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelu-u-u-u-jah [Verse 2] 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 the kitchen chair She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah [Chorus] [vocal intensity increases] Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelu-u-u-u-jah [Verse 3] 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] [strained, powerful vocals] Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelu-u-u-u-jah [Verse 4] There was a time when you'd 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 Hallelu-u-u-u-jah [Verse 5] 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] [heavy strumming on guitar] Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah [vocal belt] Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelu-u-u-u-jah [Outro] [guitar slows to a stop, final chord ring out]
