I heard there was a secret chord That david played and it pleased the lord But you don't really care for music, do ya? Well it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth The minor fall and the major lift The baffled king composing hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to her kitchen chair She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above But all I've ever learned from love Is how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya It's not a cry that you hear at night It's not someone who's seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
