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 ya?

Well, it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth

The minor fall, and the major lift

The baffled king composing hallelujah.

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah.

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.

Well, maybe there's a god above

As for me, all I've ever learned from love

Is how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya

But it's not a crime that you'll hear tonight

It's not some pilgrim who claims to have seen the light

It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah.

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah.
