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
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 a kitchen chair She broke your throne, and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above, And all I ever learned from love Was how to shoot somebody 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.
