Now I've head 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 and the major lift,

The baffled king composing "Hallelujah".

Hallelujah (4x)

You faith was strong but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

He beauty the moonlight overthrew you

She tied you to her kitchen chair

She broke you throne and she cut you hair

And from you lips drew an Hallelujah.

Hallelujah (4x)

I did my best, it wasn't much,

I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch,

I've told the truth, I didn't, come to fool you

And even though it all went wrong

I'll pray before the Lord of Song,

With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah (8x)
