Hallelujah Rufus Wainwright
Please note! I didn't write this tab! All credit for this should go to phleigm,
I was just playing along with it and the adjustments I made were simply how
I thought it sounded best in accordance with the piano.
I seriously just copy/pasted his tab and made my tweaks on the intro and the one FGCG run.
Hope you enjoy!

On the peak of the Am the open e is the easiest and smoothest to play in my opinion,
however the piano sounds best if you play the 5th fret instead, however it breaks up
the slur and sounds choppier. This is what it looks like:
[C] [Am] [C] [Am]

I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord

But you don't really care for music do you?

It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
[G] [Em] [Am]

The baffled King composing Hallelujah

I've heard there was a secret chord
c Am
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
F G c G
But you don't really care for music, do you?
c F g
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The [Am]minor fall, the [F]major lift
The [G]baffled king compo[Em]sing Halle[Am]lujah
Hall[F]elujah, Hall[Am]elujah
Hall[F]elujah, Hall[C-G-C-G]elujah
c Am
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
c Am
You saw her bathing on the roof
F G c G
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
c F G
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She [Am]broke your thron[F]e, she cut your hair
And [G]from your lips she[Em] drew the [Am]Hallelujah
Hall[F]elujah, Hall[Am]elujah
Hall[F]elujah, Hall[C-G-C-G]elujah
c Am
Maybe I've been here before
c Am
I know this room, I've walked this floor
F G c G
I used to live alone before I knew you
c F G
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
love[Am] is not a victor[F]y march
It's[G] a cold and it's a[Em] broken ha[Am]llelujah
Hall[F]elujah, Hall[Am]elujah
Hall[F]elujah, Hall[C-G-C-G]elujah
c Am
There was a time you'd let me know
c Am
What's real and going on below
F G c G
But now you never show it to me do you?
c F G
Remember when I moved in you?
The [Am]holy dark was mo[F]ving too
And [G]every breath we dr[Em]ew was hal[Am]lelujah
Hall[F]elujah, Hall[Am]elujah
Hall[F]elujah, Hall[C-G-C-G]elujah
c Am
Maybe there's a God above
c Am
And all I ever learned from love
F G c G
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
c F G
It's not a cry you can hear at night
It's[Am] not somebody wh[F]o's seen the light
It's[G] a cold and it's a[Em] broken ha[Am]llelujah
Hall[F]elujah, Hall[Am]elujah
Hall[F]elujah, Hall[C-G]elujah
Hall[F]elujah, Hall[Am]elujah
F C-G-c
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
