| G | Em | |
| I heard there was a | secret chord |
| G | Em | |
| that David played and it | pleased the Lord, |
| C | D | G | |
| But | you don't really | care for music | do you. |
| G | C | D | |
| It goes like this the | fourth the | fifth, |
| Em | C | D | |
| the minor fall and the | major | lift |
| B7 | Em | |
| The baffled king | composing hallel | ujah |
| C | Em | C | G-D-G | |
| Halle | luja, Hall | eluja, Halle | luja, Hal | leluja |
| Your faith was strong but you needed proof |
| You saw her bathing on the roof |
| Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya |
| 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 when 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 |
| Maybe thereâs a God above |
| But all Iâve ever learned from love |
| Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you |
| Itâs not a cry you can hear at night |
| Itâs not somebody who has seen the light |
| Itâs a cold and itâs a broken 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 ya? |
| 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 ya |
| 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 |
| Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
| Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
| Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
| Hallelujah |

The baffled king, not The battle king. The man himself does this song in C.
