(Verse I)(Copy tabs and enjoy)
5    6     6     6  6 -6 -6   -6 
I've heard there was a secret chord 
 5    6 6    6      6  6    -6    -6   -6 
That David played, and it pleased the Lord 
 6  -6   -6   -6 -6   -6   6  6  -5  6   6 
But you don't really care for music, do you? 
5   6    6    6     6   -6     -6   -7b 
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth 
6    7     7    -6   7 7   -8 
The minor fall, the major lift 
7   -8  -8   -8   -8 8 8    8  -8 -8 7  7b 
The baffled king composing Hal-le-lu---jah 

 5  6  -6 -6b   -6  6  5   5 
Hal-le-lu-jah, Hal-le-lu-jah, 
 5  6  -6 -6b   -6  6  5 -5 5 -4 4 -3 4 
Hal-le-lu-jah, Hal-le-lu------------jah 
(Verse II)
Your faith was strong but you needed proof 
You saw her bathing on the roof 
Her beauty and the moonlight over-threw you
She tied you to a kitchen chair 
She broke your throne, she cut your hair 
And from your lips she drew the Hal-le-lu---jah 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
(Verse III)
Maybe I have been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor 
I used to live alone before I  knew you 
I've seen your flag on the marble arch 
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hal-le-lu---jah 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

(Verse IV)
I did my best but it wasn't much
I couldn't feel so I tried to touch
I've told the truth I didn't come to fool ya
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the lord of song
With nothing on my tongue but hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
5 6 -6 -6    -6 6 5 8 -8 7------> 8 -8 7 
Hallelujah, hallelu------>jah
