HALLELUJAH

F# D# G#m
By Leonard Cohen It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah
Underlines are duets E G#m E BE B E
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Verse 1] (Ariel melody)

B B/A# G#m [Verse 4] (James melody)


I heard there was a secret chord
B B/A# G#m B B/A# G#m
that David played and it pleased the Lord There was a time you let me know
E F# B F# B B/A# G#m
But you don't really care for music do ya What's real and going on below
B E F# E F# B F#
It goes like this the fourth the fifth But now you never show it to me do you?
G#m E B E F#
the minor fall and the major lift I remember when I moved in you
F# D# G#m G#m E
The baffled king composing hallelujah The holy dark was moving too
E G#m E BE B E F# D# G#m
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah And every breath we drew was hallelujah
E G#m E BE B
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Verse 2] (James melody)
[Guitar interlude]
B B/A# G#m Emaj7 B/F# G#m B/F# Emaj7 B/F# Emaj7 B F#
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
B B/A# G#m [Verse 5] (unison melody)
You saw her bathing on the roof
E F# B F# B B/A# G#m
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya Maybe there’s a God above
B E F# B B/A# G#m
She tied you to a kitchen chair But all I ever learned from love
G#m E E F# B F#
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
F# D# G#m B E F#
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Its not the cry that you hear at night
E G#m E BE B E G#m E
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah It's not someone who's seen the light
F# D# G#m
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah
[Verse 3] (Ariel melody)

B B/A# G#m [Outro]


Maybe I've been here before
B B/A# G#m E G#m E BE
I know this room Ive walked this floor Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu
E F# B F# E G#m E BE
I used to live alone before I knew you Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu
B E F# E G#m E BE
I've seen your flag on the marble arch Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu
G#m E E G#m E BEB
But Love is not a victory march Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu--jah
