Sentient Cement Coverpile - Leonard Cohen

Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen

C /B/A G C e g a G

C                         Am               C                        Am
I heard there was a secret chord David played that pleased the Lord
       F                     G                   C          /B /A G
But you don't really care for music do ya
    C                      F             G3       -05555(Am7)      Fmaj7
It goes like this the fourth the fifth the minor fall and the major lift
       G                      E        Am    Am7 F Am 0-Am F C /B /A G C e g a G
The baffled king composing hallelujah(x5)

         C                                  Am                       C                      Am
Your faith was strong but you needed proof, you saw her bathing on the roof
       F                  G                   C            /B /A G
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya
       C                 F         G3           -05555(Am7)              Fmaj7
She tied you to a kitchen chair, she broke your throne, she cut your hair
       G                          E            Am    Am7 F Am 0-Am F C /B /A G C e g a G
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah(x5)

C                               Am                      C                Am
Now maybe there’s a god above, as for me, all I ever learned from love
        F                            G                   C             /B /A G
Is how to shoot down someone who outdrew ya
            C                        F        G3
But it's not a cry that you hear tonight
     -05555(Am7)               Fmaj7
It's not some pilgrim who's seen the light
               G                            E        Am Am7 F Am 0-Am F C /B /A G C e g a G
No, it’s a cold and it’s a very broken hallelujah(x5)

         C                     Am                         C               Am
There was a time you let me know what's really going on below
       F                             G                   C           /B /A G
But now you never even show it to me do ya
       C                     F            G3      -05555(Am7)        Fmaj7
I remember when I moved in you the holy dark she was moving too
        G                       E             Am Am7 F Am 0-Am F C /B /A G C e g a G
And every breath we drew was hallelujah(x5)

C                        Am               C                            Am
Maybe I've been here before I know this room I've walked this floor
   F                 G                 C              /B /A G
I used to live alone before I knew ya
       C                             F         G3        -05555(Am7) Fmaj7
I've seen your flag on the marble arch but love is not a victory march
         G                    E               Am Am7 F Am 0-Am F C /B /A G C e g a G
It’s a cold and it’s a very lonely hallelujah(x5)

        C                   Am                    C               Am
You say I took the name in vain but I don't even know the name
       F        G                     C        /B /A G
But if I did, really, what's it to ya
               C                    F        G3       -05555(Am7) Fmaj7
There's a blaze of light in every word, it doesn't matter which you heard
       G               E        Am Am7 F Am 0-Am F C /B /A G C e g a G
The holy or the broken hallelujah(x5)

       C                      Am                  C                        Am
I've done my best, it wasn't much, I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
       F                     G                                 C        /B /A G
I've told the truth, I didn't come here just to fool ya
        C                   F          G3          -05555(Am7)    Fmaj7
And even though it all went wrong I'll stand before the lord of song
         G                   E                   Am    Am7/G
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
     F               Am-0Am    F            C /B /A G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu (x3)
     F              Am-0Am      F          C /B /A  G C
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu . . . . . . jah
