I've heard there was a secret chord

That David played and it pleased the Lord

But you don't really care for music do you?

It goes like this - the fourth, the fifth

The minor fall, 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 in the moonlight overthrew you

She tied you to a kitchen chair

She broke your throne, she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the hallelujah.

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

Maybe there's a God above

And all I ever learned from love

Was how to shoot at somebody who outdrew you

And it's not a cry you can hear at night

It's not someone who's seen the light

It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
