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

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof

you saw her bathing on the roof

her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you

she tied you to a kitchen chair

she broke your throne and she cut your hair

and from your lips she drew the hallelujah.

Hallelujah,hallelujah,

hallelujah, hallelujah

Well maybe there's a god

above

but all I've ever learned

from love

was how to shoot somebody

who outdrew you

And it's not a cry that you hear

at night

it's not somebody who's seen

the light

it's a cold and it's a broken

hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah,

hallelujah, hallelujah ....

Hallelujah, hallelujah,

hallelujah, hallelujah .....
