**Chords:**
C  Am  C  Am  
C  Em  C  Am  
C  G  C  G  
F  Am  F  C  

C                Am  
Now I've heard there was a secret chord  
C               Am  
That David played, and it pleased the Lord  
C              Em  
But you don't really care for music, do you?  
C                Am  
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth  
C                G  
The minor falls, the major lifts  
C                 G  
The baffled king composing Hallelujah  

F                     Am  
Hallelujah, Hallelujah  
F                     C  
Hallelujah, Hallelujah  

C                 Am  
Your faith was strong but you needed proof  
C                Am  
You saw her bathing on the roof  
C              Em  
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her  
C               Am  
She tied you to a kitchen chair  
C                   G  
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair  
C                   G  
And from your lips, she drew the Hallelujah  

F                     Am  
Hallelujah, Hallelujah  
F                     C  
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
