Hallelujah Chords

(ver. 2)
Jeff Buckley
[Verse 1]
    G               Em7
I heard there was a secret chord
      G                    Em7
That David played and it pleased the Lord
   Cadd9           D/F#               G       D/F#
But you don't really care for music, do you?
         G                 Cadd9        D/F#
Well it goes like this: the fourth, the fifth
     Em7              Cadd9
The minor fall and the major lift
     D/F#           Bm7        Em7
The baffled king composing Hallelujah


[Chorus]
    Cadd9
Hallelujah
    Em7
Hallelujah
    Cadd9
Hallelujah
    G   D/F#  G    Em7 G Em7
Hallelu-u-u-u-jah...


[Verse 2]
            G                       Em7
Well, Your faith was strong but you needed proof
     G             Em7
You saw her bathing on the roof
    Cadd9          D/F#           G        D/F#
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
     G              Cadd9    D/F#
She tied you to her kitchen chair
    Em7                     Cadd9
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
   D/F#                Bm7         Em7
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah


[Chorus]
    Cadd9
Hallelujah
    Em7
Hallelujah
    Cadd9
Hallelujah
    G   D/F#  G    Em7 G Em7
Hallelu-u-u-u-jah...


[Verse 3]
  G              Em7
Baby, I've been here before
       G                      Em7
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor (you know)
  Cadd9         D/F#           G       D/F#
I used to live alone before I knew you
         G                     Cadd9  D/F#
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
     Em7          Cadd9
And love is not a victory march
       D/F#            Bm7        Em7
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah


[Chorus]
    Cadd9
Hallelujah
    Em7
Hallelujah
    Cadd9
Hallelujah
    G   D/F#  G    Em7 G Em7
Hallelu-u-u-u-jah...


[Verse 4]
       G                 Em7
There was a time when you let me know
         G              Em7
What's really going on below
   Cadd9          D/F#             G       D/F#
But now you never show that to me, do you?
       G            Cadd9   D/F#
But remember when I moved in you
        Em7           Cadd9
And the holy dove was moving too
    D/F#            Bm7        Em7
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah


[Chorus]
    Cadd9
Hallelujah
    Em7
Hallelujah
    Cadd9
Hallelujah
    G   D/F#  G    Em7 G Em7
Hallelu-u-u-u-jah...


[Verse 5]
       G             Em7
Well, Maybe there's a God above
    G               Em7
But all I've ever learned from love
    Cadd9          D/F#          G        D/F#
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
          G                Cadd9     D/F#
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
     Em7                Cadd9
It's not somebody who's seen the light
      D/F#             Bm7        Em7
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah


[Chorus]
    Cadd9
Hallelujah
    Em7
Hallelujah
    Cadd9
Hallelujah
    G   D/F#  G    Em7 G Em7
Hallelu-u-u-u-jah...
    Cadd9
Hallelujah
    Em7
Hallelujah
    Cadd9
Hallelujah
    G   D/F#  G    Em7 G Em7
Hallelu-u-u-u-jah...
