Well I've heard there was a secret chord,
C Am
That David played and it pleased the Lord,
F G C G
But you don't really care for music, do ya ?
C F G
It goes like this, the 4th, the 5th,
Am F
the minor fall and the major lift,
G E7 Am
The baffled king com- posing halle- lujah,
F Am
Halle- lujah, halle- lujah,
F C G C
halle- lujah, halle lu--- ---jah
C Am
Your faith was strong but you needed proof,
C Am
You saw her bathing on the roof,
F G C G
Her beauty and the moonlight over- threw ya,
C F G
She tied you to her kitchen chair,
Am F
She broke your throne and she cut your hair,
G E7 Am
And from your lips she drew the halle- lujah,
C Am
May be there is a God above,
C Am
But all I ever learned from love,
F G C G
Was how to shoot at someone who out- drew ya.
C F G
And it's not a cry you can hear at night,
Am F
It's not somebody who's seen the light,
G E7 Am
It's a cold and it's a broken halle- lujah,
C Am
I did my best, it wasn't much,
C Am
I couldn't feel so I tried to touch,
F G C G
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool ya.
C F G
And even though it all went wrong,
Am F
I'll stand before the Lord of Song,
G E7 Am
With nothing on my tongue but halle- lujah,
C Am
There was a time when you let me know,
C Am
What's really going on below,
F G C G
But now you never show it to me do ya.
C F G
Well re-member when I moved in with you,
Am F
And the holy dove was moving too,
G E7 Am
And every breath we drew was halle- lujah
