Hallelujah

Leonard Cohen

 CAm
 I heard there was a secret chord
 CAm
That David played and it pleased the Lord
 FGCG
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
 CFG
 It goes like this the fourth, the fifth,
 AmFG
the minor fall and the major lift
 GE7Am
The baffled king composing hallelujah
 FAmFCGCG
Hallelujah... Hallelujah... Hallelujah... Hallelu...ooo...jah 

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and 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

Baby 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 Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was 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, Hallelujah < x4

There's a chord missing. It should be:


F G C But you don't really care for music do ya
ianmorjones (report comment to admin):
Another miassing chord - in the baffled king line there should be an E in between the G and the Am

"There's a chord missing. It should be:

Add a transitional G after line as well.

"ianmorjones says,

This is correct but try an E7! ...nice!

The "E" chord diagram is shown but it doesn't appear in the song. No worries I've placed it but everyone seems to miss this chord out and misplace the one before. Cheers
