C  Am  C  Am  
C  E  F  G  

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

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

C  Am  C  Am  
C  E  F  G  
C  Am  C  Am  
C  E  F  G
