C Am C Am 
          C                 Am             
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,  
   
Chorus:
       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,  
-Chorus
   
    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,  
-Chorus
   
  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,  
-Chorus
   
      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  
-Chorus, 2x
