[Verse 1]
Now I've heard 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, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelu-u-jah
[Verse 2]
Your faith was strong, but you needed
proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew
ya
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,
Hallelu-u-jah
[Verse 3]
You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it
to ya?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelu-u-jah
[Verse 4]
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 ya
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but
Hallelujah
[Outro]
