Sheet Music by Leonord Cohen

	G	Em
	I heard there was a s	ecret chord

	G	Em
That	David played and it	pleased the Lord

	C	D	G	D
But	you don't really	care for music, d	o ya?

	G	C	D
W	ell it goes like this the	fourth, the	fifth

	Em	C
	The minor fall and the	major lift

	D	B7	Em
The	baffled king	composing halle	lujah

	C	Em	C	G	D	G	Em	G	Em
Ha	llelujah, ha	llelujah, ha	llelujah, ha	llelu	-u-u-u-ja	aah

	G	Em
	Well your faith was strong but you	needed proof

	G	Em
You	saw her bathing	on the roof

	C	D	G	D
Her	beauty and the moon	light over	threw ya

	G	C	D
	She tied you to the	kitchen ch	air

	Em	C
	She broke your throne and	she cut your hair

	D	B7	Em
And	from your lips she	drew the halle	lujah

	C	Em	C	G	D	G	Em	G	Em
Ha	llelujah, ha	llelujah, ha	llelujah, ha	llelu	-u-u-u-ja	aah

	G	Em
Baby	i've been	here before

	G	Em
I've	seen this room and i've	walked this floor

	C	D	G	D
I used	to live alone	before i	knew ya

	G	C	D
I've seen	your flag on the	marble	arch

	Em	C
	But love is not a	victory march

	D	B7	Em
It's a	cold and it's a	broken halle	lujah

	C	Em	C	G	D	G	Em	G	Em
Ha	llelujah, ha	llelujah, ha	llelujah, ha	llelu	-u-u-u-ja	aah

	G	Em
Well there	was a time when	you let me know

	G	Em
What's	really going	on below

	C	D	G	D
But now	you never	show that to me	do ya	?

	G	C	D
But remember	when i	moved in	you

	Em	C
And the	holy dove was	moving too

	D	B7	Em
And every	breath we drew	was halle	lujah

	C	Em	C	G	D	G	Em	G	Em
Ha	llelujah, ha	llelujah, ha	llelujah, ha	llelu	-u-u-u-ja	aah

	G	Em
Well,	maybe there's a	god above

	G	Em
But all	i've ever	learned from love

	C	D	G	D
Was how	to shoot	somebody who outdrew	ya

	G	C	D
It's not a	cry that	you hear at	night

	Em	C
It's not	somebody who's	seen the light

	D	B7	Em
It's a cold	and it's a	broken	hallelujah

Chorus: x 3

	C	Em	C	G	D	G	Em	G	Em
Ha	llelujah, ha	llelujah, ha	llelujah, ha	llelu	-u-u-u-ja	aah

A simplified version of Jeff Buckleys 'hallelujah' but you can view the orignal with the icon at the bottom, for a more challenging but realistic version. Thanks very much.

Steppeake (report comment to admin):

g to a minor instead of g to c for the first parts

KennethW. (report comment to admin):

This verse:

I used  to live alone  before i knew  ya 



should be C - D - G chord progression and every verse after this verse - the third line should be changed to this chord progression.



I would of corrected it myself but I don't how to do it.

fortwaldron (report comment to admin):

This might be Buckley's version, but let's not forget that this is a Leonard Cohen penned song...and put his name at the top where it belongs.

madim67 (report comment to admin):

try putting a capo on the third fret it sounds cool. Thanks for this version :)

Maj (report comment to admin):

Great song, thanks for the transcript.

I believe too though that the 3 last verses a wrong. On the 3rd line it should be 	C	D	G	D like in the 2 first verses which are correct.

I think also that the capo should be on the 5th fret to sound as Jeff recorded.

erhino (report comment to admin):

It's in C on the Grace album.  you can capo the 5th and use the chord shapes given here.  You can get those lower bass notes in there by playing it in open postion use the transpose feature and go +5 semitones and that will tell you the chords.

dadachip (report comment to admin):

Sheet Music = (Leonord Cohen)is in the key of "C."  I find it to be easier AND sounds nicer to me.  Don't forget to fix those flubbed lines as well..."How to shoot somebody who out drew ya" should be,

G  C  D  C  in "G"

F  G  C  G  in "C"
