Hallelujah
Leonard Cohen
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 this, the fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled King composing Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty in 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, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah You say I took the name in vain I don't even know the name But if I did, well, really, what's it to you ? There's a blaze of light in every word It doesn't matter which you heard The holy or the broken Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah I did my best, it wasn't much I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you And even though it all went wrong I'll stand before the Lord of Song With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah Hallelujah (pause) Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah (2X) Hallelujah, Hallelujah (ad libitum)
