RUFUS WAINWRIGHT - Hallelujah
/G Em G Em/
G Em
I heard there was a secret chord
G Em
That David played and it pleased the Lord
C D G D
But you don't really care for music, do you
G C D
It goes like this the fourth the fifth
Em C
The minor fall and the major lift
D Hm Em
The baffled king composing hallelujah
C Em C G D G D
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-ujah
Your faith was strong but she needed proof G Em
You saw her bathing on the roof G
Em
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you C D G ~ D
She tied you to a kitchen chair G
C D
She broke your throne and she cut your hair Em C
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah D Hm Em
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah C
Em C G D G ~ D
Maybe I've been here before G
Em
I know this room, I've walked this floor G Em
I used to live alone before I knew you C
D G ~ D
I've seen your flag on the marble arch G
C D
And love is not a victory march Em
C
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah D
Hm Em
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah C
Em C G D G ~ D
There was a time, you let me know G
Em
What's really going on below G
Em
But now you never showed it to me, do you C D G ~ D
I remember when I moved in you G
C D
The holy dove was moving too Em
C
And every breath we drew was hallelujah D
Hm Em
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah C
Em C G D G ~ D
And maybe there's a God above G Em
And all I ever learned from love G
Em
Is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you C D G ~ D
And it's not the cry that you hear tonight G C D
And it's not somebody who's seen the light Em C
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah D
Hm Em
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah C
Em C G D G ~ D
