Hallelujah - Rufus Wainwright
Tuning: C, E A D G B E
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I’ve heard the
re was a secre
t chord
That David pla
yed and it ple
ased the Lord
But you don’t
really care fo
r music do you
?
It goes like t
his, the fourt
h, the fifth
The minor fall
, the major li
ft
The baffled Ki
ng composing H
allelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, ha
llelujah
Hallelujah, ha
llelujah
[Verse 2]
Your faith was
strong but yo
u needed proof
You saw her ba
thing on the r
oof
Her beauty in
the moonlight
overthrew you
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
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, ha
llelujah
Hallelujah, ha
llelujah
[Verse 3]
Maybe I’ve bee
n here before
I know this ro
om, I’ve walke
d this floor
I used to live
alone before
I knew you
I’ve seen your
flag on the m
arble arch
Love is not a
victory march
It’s a cold an
d it’s a broke
n hallelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, ha
llelujah
Hallelujah, ha
llelujah
[Verse 4]
There was a ti
me when you le
t me know
What’s really
going on below
But now you ne
ver show it to
me, do you?
And remember w
hen I moved in
you
The Holy Dove
was moving too
And every brea
th we drew was
hallelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, ha
llelujah
Hallelujah, ha
llelujah
[Verse 5]
Maybe there’s
a God above
And all I ever
learned from
love
Was how to sho
ot at someone
who outdrew yo
u
And it’s not a
cry you can h
ear at night
It’s not someb
ody who’s seen
the light
It’s a cold an
d it’s a broke
n hallelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, ha
llelujah
Hallelujah, ha
llelujah
Hallelujah, ha
llelujah
Hallelujah, ha
llelujah
