Another version of this beautiful song:
You can either play the song with the regular chords (Leonard Cohen or Jeff Buckley
and tune your guitar down half a step, or, if you are too lazy to tune down your guitar
me), you can use these chords.
Intro: B Abm B Abm
B Abm
I heard there was a secret chord
B Abm
That David played and it pleased the lord
E F# B F#
But you don't really care for music, do you?
B E F#
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
Abm E
The minor fall and the major lift
F# Eb m Abm
The baffled king composing hallelujah
Chorus:
E Abm E B
B
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....
B Abm
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
B Abm
You saw her bathing on the roof
E F# B F#
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
B E F#
She tied you to her kitchen chair
Abm E
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
F# Eb m Abm
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
E Abm E B
B
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....
B Abm
Baby I've been here before
B Abm
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
E F# B F#
I used to live alone before I knew you
B E F#
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Abm E
But love is not a victory march
F# Eb m Abm
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
E Abm E B
C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....
B Abm
Well there was a time when you let me know
B Abm
What's really going on below
E F# B F#
But now you never show that to me do you
B E F#
But remember when I moved in you
Abm E
And the holy dove was moving too
F# Eb m Abm
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
B Abm
Well, maybe there's a god above
B Abm
But all I've ever learned from love
E F# B F#
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
B E F#
It's not a cry that you hear at night
Abm E
It's not somebody who's seen the light
F# Eb m Abm
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
E Abm E B
B
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....
