  NOTES:
Throughout the song Damien will do hammer ons and pull offs in various spots.
the only time hes played this song is live (i think) so theres the beautiful thing, you can
improv and do licks here and there. dont go crazy tho because this song is elegant and doesnt
need anything wild. i know this is right because ive played with the youtube video.
Have Fun!
 
 
  Lyrics:
 
Verse
   G                  Em7
I heard there was a secret chord
       G                  Em7
That david played and it pleased the lord
     C                 D               G              D
But you don't really care for music, do you
   G                         C           D
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
       Em7               C
The minor fall and the major lift
        D            B       B   Em7
The baffled king composing hallelujah
 
 
Chours
     C           Em        C         G  D   G      D
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah ....
 
 
Verse
 
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
 
You saw her bathing on the roof
 
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
 
She tied you to her kitchen chair
 
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
 
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
 
 
Chorus
 
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah .... .
 
 
Verse
 
Baby i've been here before
 
I've seen this room and i've walked this floor
 
I used to live alone before i knew you
 
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
 
But love is not a victory march
 
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
 
 
Chorus
 
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah ....
 
 
Verse
 
Well there was a time when you let me know
 
What's really going on below
 
But now you never show that to me do you
 
But remember when i moved in you
 
And the holy dove was moving too
 
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
 
 
Chorus
 
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah ....
 
 
Verse
 
Well, maybe there's a god above
 
But all i've ever learned from love
 
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
 
It's not a cry that you hear at night
 
It's not somebody who's seen the light
 
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
 
 
Chorus
 
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah ....
