I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?

It goes like...the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The Baffled King composing Hallelujah


Hallelujah (4 times)


Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you.

She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah


Hallelujah (4 times)


Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at somebody who outdrew you

And it's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken...Hallelujah


Hallelujah (4 times)


Hallelujah (4 times)
