[Verse 1]
  G                 Em
I heard there was a secret chord
      G                   Em
That David played and it pleased the Lord
    C                         D      G        D
But you don't really care for music, do you?
          G
Well, it goes like this
     C           D          Em                 C
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
     D              B7           Em
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
 
[Chorus]
      C           Em        C          G    D/F#    G
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
 
[Verse 2]
           G                        Em
Well, your faith was strong but you needed proof
    G               Em
You saw her bathing on the roof
    C                        D     G        D
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
    G               C        D
She tied you to her kitchen chair
    Em                        C
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
    D                  B7             Em
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
 
[Chorus]
     C          Em         C          G D/F# G
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelu  -  jah
 
[Verse 3]
G               Em
Baby, I've been here before
     G                       Em
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
  C                    D       G        D
I used to live alone before I knew you
         G                     C      D
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
    Em            C
And love is not a victory march
       D               B7           Em
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
 
[Chorus]
     C         Em          C        G D/F# G
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
 
[Verse 4]
            G                   Em
Well, there was a time when you let me know
G                   Em
What's really going on below
    C                       D      G        D
But now you never show that to me, do you?
      G             C        D
But remember when I moved in you
        Em            C
And the holy dove was moving too
    D               B7             Em
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
 
[Chorus]
     C          Em         C          G D/F#
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
 
[Verse 5]
G               Em
Maybe there's a God above
    G              Em
But all I've ever learned from love
    C                       D      G       D
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
         G                  C       D
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
     Em                 C
It's not somebody who's seen the light
       D               B7           Em
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
 
[Chorus]
     C          Em         C          G D/F#
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Halleluuuu
     C          Em         C          G D/F#
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Halleluuuujah

a lot of this is correct, but there are a few mistakes- for instance, some of the e-minors should be d's or sometimes c's, & the b should be minor. i just posted a new tab that's in this key but is the version i came up with, so check that out in a day or two.
