] [Am] [C] [Am]




Well I've [C]heard there was a [Am]secret chord,
That [C]David played and it [Am]pleased the Lord,
But [F]you don't really care for [G]music, [C]do ya? [G]
It [C]goes like this, the [F]4th, the [G]5th,
The [Am]minor fall and the [F]major lift,
The [G]baffled king com-[E7]posing halle-[Am]lujah,
Halle-[F]lujah, halle-[Am]lujah, halle-[F]lujah, halle[C]lu---[G]---[C]jah
[C] [Am] [C] [Am]




Your [C]faith was strong but you [Am]needed proof,
You [C]saw her bathing [Am]on the roof,
Her [F]beauty and the moonlight [G]over-[C]threw ya, [G]
She [C]tied yo to her [F]kitchen [G]chair,
She [Am]broke your throne and she [F]cut your hair,
And [G]from your lips she [E7]drew the halle-[Am]lujah,
Halle-[F]lujah, halle-[Am]lujah, halle-[F]lujah, halle-[C]lu---[G]---[C]jah
[C] [Am] [C] [Am]




Well [C]baby I've been [Am]here before,
I [C]know this room and I've [Am]walked this floor,
I [F]used to live alone be-[G]fore I [C]knew ya. [G]
And I've [C]seen your flag on the [F]marble [G]arch,
And [Am]love is not a [F]victory march,
It's a [G]cold and it's a [E7]broken halle-[Am]lujah,
Halle-[F]lujah, halle-[Am]lujah, halle[F]lujah, halle[C]lu---[G]---[C]jah
[C] [Am] [C] [Am]




There [C]was a time when you [Am]let me know,
What's [C]really going [Am]on below,
But [F]now you never show it [G]to me [C]do ya. [G]
Well re-[C]member when I [F]moved in [G]you,
And the [Am]holy dove was [F]moving too,
And [G]every breath we [E7]drew was halle-[Am]lujah,
Halle-[F]lujah, halle-[Am]lujah, halle[F]lujah, halle-[C]lu---[G]---[C]jah
[C] [Am] [C] [Am]




[C]Maybe there is a [Am]God above,
But [C]all I ever [Am]learned from love,
Was [F]how to shoot at someone [G]who out-[C]drew ya. [G]
And it's [C]not a cry you can [F]hear and [G]night,
It's [Am]not somebody who's [F]seen the light,
It's a [G]cold and it's a [E7]broken halle-[Am]lujah,
Halle-[F]lujah, halle-[Am]lujah, halle-[F]lujah, halle-[C]lu--[G]---[C]jah
Halle-[F]ujah, halle-[Am]lujah, halle-[F]lujah, halle-[C]lu---[G]---[C]jah

[AbsenceGuitarist]

your all idiots for rating this 5. He's enhanced his voice through his amp. Anybody can sound like that...

@AbsenceGuitarist

lol comment of the day, thanks it gave me a chuckle and i was in fits after listening to your own version ;-)

little lesson my friend, amps increase the amplitude of your voice not 'enhance' it you wally lol

Regarding Hallelujah:

This is THE best version of this song I've ever heard. And there are a great many versions (as you know). It is a great pleasure to hear this done so well.

It is really an accomplishment.

[ginnylovesmusic]

Very pretty! Have you guys checked out Jeffery Hyde Thompson's cover of this tune? It's totally beautiful.
