I've G heard there was a Emi secret chord
That G David played, and it Emi pleased the Lord
But C you don't really D care for music, G do you? D
Well it G goes like thist he C fourth, the D fifth
The Emi minor fall, the C major lift
The D baffled king H composing Halle Emi lujah
R: Halle C lujah, Halle Emi lujah
Halle C lujah, Halle G lu-uu D uu-u G jah
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, she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the Hallelujah.
R:
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.
R:
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
R:
