Chords and lyrics for Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright (key of C).
Intro
[C] [Am]
[C] [Am]
Verse 1
I’ve [C]heard there was a [Am]secret chord
That [C]David played and it [Am]pleased the Lord
But [F]you don’t really [G]care for music [C]do you?[G]
It [C]goes like this, the [F]fourth, the [G]fifth
The [Am]minor fall, the [F]major lift
The [G]baffled King [Em]composing [Am]Hallelujah
Chorus
[F]Hallelujah, [Am]hallelujah
[F]Hallelujah, [C][G][C]hallelujah[G]
Verse 2
Your [C]faith was strong but you [Am]needed proof
You [C]saw her bathing [Am]on the roof
Her [F]beauty in the [G]moonlight [C]overthrew you[G]
She [C]tied you to a [F]kitchen [G]chair
She [Am]broke your throne, and she [F]cut your hair
And [G]from your lips she [Em]drew the [Am]hallelujah
Chorus
[F]Hallelujah, [Am]hallelujah
[F]Hallelujah, [C][G][C]hallelujah[G]
Verse 3
[C]Maybe I’ve been [Am]here before
I [C]know this room, I’ve [Am]walked this floor
I [F]used to live [G]alone before I [C]knew you[G]
I’ve [C]seen your flag on the [F]marble [G]arch
[Am]Love is not a [F]victory march
It’s a [G]cold and it’s a [Em]broken [Am]hallelujah
Chorus
[F]Hallelujah, [Am]hallelujah
[F]Hallelujah, [C][G][C]hallelujah[G]
Verse 4
There [C]was a time when you [Am]let me know
What’s [C]really going [Am]on below
But [F]now you never [G]show it to me, [C]do you?[G]
And [C]remember when I [F]moved in [G]you
The [Am]Holy Dove was [F]moving too
And [G]every breath we [Em]drew was [Am]hallelujah
Chorus
[F]Hallelujah, [Am]hallelujah
[F]Hallelujah, [C][G][C]hallelujah[G]
Verse 5
[C]Maybe there’s a [Am]God above
And [C]all I ever [Am]learned from love
Was [F]how to shoot at [G]someone who [C]outdrew you[G]
And it’s [C]not a cry you can [F]hear at [G]night
It’s [Am]not somebody who’s [F]seen the light
It’s a [G]cold and it’s a [Em]broken [Am]hallelujah
Chorus
[F]Hallelujah, [Am]hallelujah
[F]Hallelujah, [C][G]hallelujah
[F]Hallelujah, [Am]hallelujah
[F]Hallelujah, [C][G][C]hallelujah
