[Intro]
G Em G Em
[Verse 1]
G Em G Em
I heard there was a secret chord that David played and it pleased the Lord
C D G D
But you don't really care for music do you?
G C D Em C
Well, it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
D D#dim7 Em
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
[Chorus]
C Em C G D G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu--------jah
[Verse 2]
G Em G Em
Well, your faith was strong but you needed proof, you saw her bathing on the roof
C D G D
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
G C D Em C
She tied you to her kitchen chair, she broke your throne and she cut your hair
D D#dim7 Em
And from your lips you drew a Hallelujah
[Chorus]
C Em C G D G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu--------jah
[Verse 3]
G Em G Em
Baby, I've been here before, 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 Em C
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch and love is not a victory march
D D#dim7 Em
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
[Chorus]
C Em C G D G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu--------jah
[Verse 4]
G Em G Em
There was a time when you let me know, what's really going on below
C D G D
But now you never show that to me do you?
G C D Em C
But remember when I moved in you and the holy dove was moving too
D D#dim7 Em
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
[Chorus]
C Em C G D G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu--------jah
[Verse 5]
G Em G Em
Maybe there's a God above, but all I've ever learned from love
C D G D
Was how to shoot at somebody who outdrew you
G C D Em C
And it's not a cry that you hear at night, it's not somebody who's seen the light
D D#dim7 Em
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
[Chorus]
C Em C G D
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-----
C Em C G D G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu--------jah

Put the capo on 6 if you're already using it anyway and you've got the key from the Hallelujah video by Jeff Buckley.

thanks for a great tab, im finding this sits great with me at capo on 2ndi'm picking it G, Em 643123C, B7 543123D 432123wondering why 4th verse doesnt have the 4 hallelujah's & Em-G-Em bridge(maybe i should listen to the original first)also im finishing with an outro of Em G Em C D G, if its of use to anyone
Im also finding the EM Em C C Em Em C C bars during Hallellujah if C is swapped to Cadd9 (x32013) it breaks up the repetition in the treble...suck it and see :)
