Now I've h[C]eard there was a s[A-]ecret chord
That D[C]avid played and it pl[A-]eased the Lord
But y[F]ou don't really c[G]are for music, do y[C]a? [G]
It g[C]oes like this, the f[F]ourth, the f[G]ifth
The m[A-]inor fall, the m[F]ajor lift
The b[G]affled king comp[E]osing "Hallel[A-]ujah"
Hallel[F]ujah, Hallel[A-]ujah
Hallel[F]ujah, Hallel[C]u---[G]u---j[C]ah [G]
Your faith was strong, but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well, really, what's it to ya?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool ya
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of song
With nothing on my tongue but hallelujah
