Hallelujah Rufus Wainwright

**Chords:**
C  Am  C  Am  
F  G  C  E7  
F  G  C  E7  
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  
But you don’t really care for music, do you?  
C               E7  
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth  
F                   G  
The minor falls, the major lifts  
C               E7  
The baffled king composing 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  
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her  
C                  E7  
She tied you to a kitchen chair  
F                       G  
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair  
C                  E7  
And from your lips, she drew the 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  
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you  
C                 E7  
It’s not a cry that you hear at night  
F                     G  
It’s not someone who’s seen the light  
C                E7  
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah  

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