(Verse I)(Copy tabs and enjoy)

5    6     6     6  6 -6 -6   -6
I've heard there was a secret chord
 5    6 6    6      6  6    -6    -6   -6
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
 6  -6   -6   -6 -6   -6   6  6  -5  6   6
But you don't really care for music, do you?
5   6    6    6     6   -6     -6   -7b
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
6    7     7    -6   7 7   -8
The minor fall, the major lift
7   -8  -8   -8   -8 8 8    8  -8 -8 7  7b
The baffled king composing Hal-le-lu---jah

 5  6  -6 -6b   -6  6  5   5
Hal-le-lu-jah, Hal-le-lu-jah,
 5  6  -6 -6b   -6  6  5 -5 5 -4 4 -3 4
Hal-le-lu-jah, Hal-le-lu------------jah

(Verse II)

Your faith was strong but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty and the moonlight over-threw you

She tied you to a kitchen chair 

She broke your throne, she cut your hair 

And from your lips she drew the Hal-le-lu---jah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

(Verse III)

Maybe I have been here before

I know this room, I've walked this floor

I used to live alone before I  knew you

I've seen your flag on the marble arch

Love is not a victory march

It's a cold and it's a broken Hal-le-lu---jah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

(Verse IV)

I did my best but it wasn't much

I couldn't feel so I tried to touch

I've told the truth I didn't come to fool ya

And even though it all went wrong

I'll stand before the lord of song

With nothing on my tongue but hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah

5 6 -6 -6    -6 6 5 8 -8 7------> 8 -8 7

Hallelujah, hallelu------>jah
