Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen) [Jeff Buckley] {Rufus Wainwright}:


             C                    B/C Am
*(Now) [Well] I've heard there was a   secret chord
     C                B/C Am
That David played and it  pleased the Lord
     F               G               C       G
But you don't really care for music, do you?
       C                      F        G
[Well] It goes like this, the 4th, the 5th
    Am                      F
The minor fall, [{and}] the major lift
    G               E7          Am
The baffled king composing Hallelujah!
     F           Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
     F           C     G     C     Am	?(G)?       
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 her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!

*[{
Baby I've been here before
[I've seen] {I know} this room [and] I've walked this floor
[You know] I used to live alone before I knew you
[And] I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
}]

[{
Well there was a time you let me know
What's [really] {real and} going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you
[Well] {And} remember when I moved in you
[And] The holy [dove] {dark} was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
}]

[{
Maybe there's a God above
[But] {And} all I['ve] ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
And it's not a cry 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!
}]

(
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 you?
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, Hallelujah!
)

(
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 you
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
)

Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!

Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
