[Introduction]
Em G Em Bm D G Bm D G
[Verse]
G Em G Em
I heard there was a secret chord, that David played, and it pleased the Lord.
C D G D
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
G C D Em C
Well, it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift,
D Bm Em Em
The baffled king composing Hallelujah.
[Chorus]
C Em C G D G Em G Em
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
[Verse]
G Em G Em
Your faith was strong but you needed proof, you saw her bathing on the roof,
C D G D
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya.’
G C D Em C
Well, she tied you to a kitchen chair, she broke your throne, and cut your hair,
D Bm Em Em
And from your lips she drew Hallelujah.
[Chorus]
C Em C G D G Em G Em
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
[Verse]
G Em G Em
Baby, I’ve been here before, I’ve seen this room and I’ve walked the floor.
C D G D
I used to live alone before I knew ya.'
G C D Em C
But I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch, our love is not a victory march,
D Bm Em Em
It's a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah.
[Chorus]
C Em C G D G Em G Em
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
[Verse]
G Em G Em
Maybe there's a god above, but all I’ve ever learned from love,
C D G D
Is how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya,
G C D Em C
But it's not a cry that you hear at night, it's not someone who’s seen the light,
D Bm Em Em
It's a cold and broken hallelujah.
[Chorus]
C Em C G D G Em G Em
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
[Outro]

I think that in the chorus you need to replace the G for a C chord

The chorus is not correct. There should be A where the first E is
