I  heard there was a secret  chord
That  David played, and it pleased  the Lord
But  you don't really care  for music, do  ya?
It  goes like this, the fourth,  the fifth
 The minor  fall, the major  lift
 The baffled  king composing  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 broke  your crown and cut  your hair
 She tied  you to her kitchen  chair
 And from  your lips she drew  the Hallelujah
Hallelujah,  Hallelujah
 Hallelujah,  Hallelujah
 You say  I took the name  in vain
 Well I  don't even know  the name
 And if  I did, well really,  what's it to  ya?
 'cuz there's  a blaze  of light in every word
 It does  not matter which  you heard
 The holy  or the broken  Hallelujah
Hallelujah
 I did  my best, it wasn't  much
 I could  not feel, so I tried  to touch
 I've told  the truth, I did  not come to fool  ya
 And even  though it all  went wrong
 I'll stand  before the Lord  of Song
 With nothing  on my tongue  but Hallelujah
 Hallelujah,  Hallelujah
 Hallelujah,  Hallelujah
 Hallelujah,  Hallelujah
 Hallelujah
