Hallelujah Jeff Buckley

**Chords:**
C  Am  C  Am  
C  Am  C  Am  
F  G  C  E  
F  G  C  

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

C             Am  
Hallelujah, Hallelujah  
C             Am  
Hallelujah, Hallelujah  
F             G              C  
Hallelujah, Hallelujah  
F             G              C  
Hallelujah, Hallelujah  

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

C             Am  
Hallelujah, Hallelujah  
C             Am  
Hallelujah, Hallelujah  
F             G              C  
Hallelujah, Hallelujah  
F             G              C  
Hallelujah, Hallelujah  

C               Am  
Well, maybe there’s a God above  
C                   Am  
But all I’ve ever learned from love  
F                 G                C  
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you  
F                G                 C  
And it’s not a cry that you hear at night  
E                   Am  
It’s not someone who’s seen the light  
F                G                C  
It’s a cold and it’s broken Hallelujah  

C             Am  
Hallelujah, Hallelujah  
C             Am  
Hallelujah, Hallelujah  
F             G              C  
Hallelujah, Hallelujah  
F             G              C  
Hallelujah, Hallelujah  

C               Am  
Well, people, I’ve been here before  
C               Am  
I know this room and I’ve walked this floor  
F              G              C  
You see, I used to live alone before I knew ya  
F                G                C  
And I’ve seen your flag
