Chords and lyrics for Hallelujah by John Cale (key of G).
Intro
[G] [Em] [G] [Em]
Verse
I [G]heard there was[Em] a [G]secret chord
that [G]David played and[Em] it pleased the Lord
But [C]you don't really [D]care for music [G]do ya
It [G]goes like this the [C]fourth the [D]fifth
the [Em]minor fall and the [C]major lift
The [D]baffled king [B]composing [Em]hallelujah
[C]Hallelujah, [Em]Hallelujah, [C]Hallelujah, [G][D][G][Em]Hallelujah[Em][G]
Your [G]faith was strong but [Em]you needed proof
You [G]saw her bathing [Em]on the roof
Her [C]beauty and the [D]moonlight [G]overthrew you
She [G]tied you to a [C]kitchen [D]chair
She [Em]broke your throne and she [C]cut your hair
And [D]from your lips she [B]drew the [Em]hallelujah
[C]Hallelujah, [Em]Hallelujah, [C]Hallelujah, [G][D][G][Em]Hallelujah[Em][G]
[G]Maybe I've been [Em]here before
I [G]know this room, I've [Em]walked this floor
I [C]used to live [D]alone before I [G]knew you
I've [G]seen your flag on the [C]marble [D]arch
and [Em]love is not a [C]victory march
It's a [D]cold and it's a [B]broken [Em]hallelujah
[C]Hallelujah, [Em]Hallelujah, [C]Hallelujah, [G][D][G][Em]Hallelujah[Em][G]
There [G]was a time, you [Em]let me know
what's [G]really going [Em]on below
But [C]now you never [D]showed it to me [G]do ya
I [G]remember when I [C]moved in [D]you
and the [Em]holy dove was [C]moving too
And [D]every breath we [B]drew was [Em]hallelujah
[C]Hallelujah, [Em]Hallelujah, [C]Hallelujah, [G][D][G][Em]Hallelujah[Em][G]
And [G]maybe there's a [Em]God above
And [G]all I ever [Em]learned from love
is [C]how to shoot at [D]someone who [G]outdrew you
And it's [G]not the cry that you [C]hear [D]tonight
and it's [Em]not somebody who's [C]seen the light
It's a [D]cold and it's a [B]broken [Em]hallelujah
[C]Hallelujah, [Em]Hallelujah, [C]Hallelujah, [Em]Hallelujah
[C]Hallelujah, [Em]Hallelujah, [C]Hallelujah, [G][D][G][Em][G][Em]Hallelujah[G][D][G]
