HALLELUJAH
Leonard Cohen


[Verse 1]
        
            
I heard there 

/      
was a secret c

hord      
             
that David pla

        
yed and it ple

ased the Lord
             
But you don't 

             
really care fo

             
r music do ya
             
It goes like t

             
his the fourth

     
 the fifth
            
the minor fall

         
 and the major

 lift
             
The baffled ki

             
ng composing h

    
allelujah
             
Hallelujah, Ha

            
llelujah, Hall

            
elujah, Hallel

    
ujah

    
[Verse 2]

             
Your faith was

           
 strong but yo

         
u needed proof
           
You saw her ba

     
thing on the r

oof
             
Her beauty and

             
 the moonlight

             
 overthrew ya
             
She tied you t

           
o a kitchen ch

air
            
She broke your

              
 throne, and s

   
he cut your ha

ir
             
And from your 

             
lips she drew 

         
the Hallelujah
             
Hallelujah, Ha

            
llelujah, Hall

            
elujah, Hallel

    
ujah

I know this ro

    
om Ive walked 

this floor
             
I used to live

             
 alone before 

          
I knew you
             
I've seen your

             
 flag on the m

      
arble arch
            
But Love is no

    
t a victory ma

[Verse 5]

          
Maybe there’s 

      
a God above
          
But all I ever

     
 learned from 

love
             
Was how to sho

             
ot at someone 

             
who outdrew yo

  
u
             
Its not the cr

             
y that you hea

     
r at night
            
It's not someo

the light
             
It’s a cold an

             
d it’s a broke

[Verse 6]

             
You say I took

         
 the name in v

  
ain
           
But I don't ev

  
en know the na

me
             
But if I did, 

             
well really, w

             
hat's it to ya

  
?
             
There's a blaz

              
e of light in 

     
every word
            
It doesn't mat

[Verse 7]
