Hallelujah
Rufus Wainwright
(Leonard Cohen)
C Am C Am
I've Cheard there was a Amsecret chord
that CDavid played and it Ampleased the Lord
but Fdo you really Gcare for music Cdo you? G
It C goes like this, the Ffourth, the Gfifth,
the Amminor fall, the Fmajor lift,
the Gbaffled King comEmposing AmHallelujah.
HalleFlujah, halleAmlujah.
HalleFlujah, halleClu - uuGu - uCjah. C
Your faith was strong but you needed proof,
you saw her bathing on the roof.
Her beaty in 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 a Hallelujah.
HalleFlujah, halleAmlujah.
HalleFlujah, halleClu - uuGu - uCjah. C
Maybe I've been here before.
I know this room, I've walked this floor.
I used to live alone before I knew you.
I've seen your flag on marble arch.
Love is not a victory march.
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.
HalleFlujah, halleAmlujah.
HalleFlujah, halleClu - uuGu - uCjah. C
There was a time when you let me know
what's really going on below
but now you never show it to me, do you?
And rEmEmber when I moved in you
the holy dark was moving too
and every breath we drew was Hallelujah.
HalleFlujah, halleAmlujah.
HalleFlujah, halleClu - uuGu - uCjah. C
Maybe there's a god above
and all I ever learned from love
was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you.
And it's not a cry you can hear at night.
It's not somebody who's seen the light.
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.
HalleFlujah, halleAmlujah.
HalleFlujah, halleClu - uGjah.
HalleFlujah, halleAmlujah.
HalleFlujah, halleClu - uuGu - uCjah.
