HALLELUJAH- John Cale written by: Leonard Cohen Song from "Shrek."
6/8 Time: Intro C Am C Am
I h[C]eard there was a secret cho[Am]rd, that David played[C] and it pleased the Lord, [Am]
[F]But you don't really care[G] for music do you? [C] It goes l[G]ike this[C] the fourth th[(F]e fifth, [G)]
[Am]the minor fall, the[F] major lift, the baffled k[G]ing composing hall[Em]elujah.[Am] [Am]
Halleluj[F]ah, Hall[F]eluja[Am]h, Hall[Am]elujah[F], Hallelu[F]-u-u-u[C]-jah[G] [C] [G]
Your fai[C]th was strong but you needed proof, yo[Am]u saw her bathing on th[C]e roof.[Am]
[F]Her beauty and the m[G]oonlight overth[C]rew you. She[G] tied you t[C]o a kitchen cha[(F]ir, [G)]
[Am]She broke your throne, she cut yo[F]ur hair, and from your[G] lips she drew[Em] the halleluja[Am]h. [Am]
Chorus
[C]Baby, I've been he[Am]re before, I k[C]now this room, I've wal[Am]ked this floor,
I u[F]sed to live alo[G]ne before I knew you.[C] I've see[G]n your flag[C] on the marble arc[(F]h, [G)]
[Am]love is not a[F] victory march, it's a[G] cold and it's a[Em] broken halle[Am]lujah.[Am]
Chorus
There[C] was a time, you le[Am]t me know, what's[C] real and going on below [Am]
But[F] now you never show it t[G]o me do you? A[C]nd remembe[G]r when I moved [C]in you[(F] [G)]
a[Am]nd the holy dove was [F]moving too, And every bre[G]ath we dr[Em]ew was hallelujah.[Am] [Am]
Chorus
Ma[C]ybe there's a God above,[Am] and all I[C] ever learned fr[Am]om love
[F]was how to shoo[G]t at someone who out[C]drew you. [G]And it's not the cry[C] you can hea[(F]r at night [G)]
[Am]It's not somebody who's[F] seen the light, It's a[G] cold and it's [Em]a broken halle[Am]lujah.[Am]
Hallelu[F]jah, Ha[F]lleluja[Am]h, Hall[Am]elujah[F], Halle[F]lujah[Am] [G]
Halleluj[F]ah, Ha[F]lleluja[Am]h, Hal[Am]lelujah[F], Halle[F]lu-u-u-u[C]-jah[G] [C] [C]
