Hallelujah ChordsThis is a beautiful song off Buckley's debut 1994 album "Grace." The original was byLeonard Cohen but I transcribed this from Buckey's version. My tab is similar to thefirst tab of this song but there are some changes and I've included all the lyrics.

Standard Tuning

Intro: C Am C Am

C AmI heard there was a secret chord C AmThat David played and it pleased the lord F G C GBut you don't really care for music, do you? C F GWell it goes like this the fourth, the fifth Am FThe minor fall and the major lift G Em AmThe baffled king composing hallelujah

Chorus:

F Am F C G CHallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

C AmWell your faith was strong but you needed proof C AmYou saw her bathing on the roof F G C GHer beauty and the moonlight overthrew youC F GShe tied you to her kitchen chair Am FShe broke your throne and she cut your hair G Em AmAnd from your lips she drew the hallelujah

F Am F C G CHallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

C AmBaby I've been here before C AmI've seen this room and I've walked this floor F G C GI used to live alone before I knew youC F GI've seen your flag on the marble arch Am FBut love is not a victory march G Em Am

It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

F Am F C G CHallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

C AmWell there was a time when you let me know C AmWhat's really going on below F G C GBut now you never show that to me do you C F GBut remember when I moved in you Am FAnd the holy dove was moving too G Em AmAnd every breath we drew was hallelujah

C AmWell, maybe there's a god above C AmBut all I've ever learned from love F G C GWas how to shoot somebody who outdrew you C F GIt's not a cry that you hear at night Am FIt's not somebody who's seen the light G Em AmIt's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah F Am F C G CHallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....
