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

hallelujah

hallelujah

your faith was strong but you needed proof

you saw her bathing on the roof

her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya

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

hallelujah

hallelujah

you say i took the name in vain

i don't even know the name

but if i did well really what's it to you

there's a blaze of light in every word

it doesn't matter which you heard

the holy or the broken hallelujah

hallelujah

hallelujah

hallelujah

hallelujah

hallelujah

hallelujah

hallelujah

hallelujah

hallelujah

hallelu jah
