Hallelujah – Rufus Wainwright

Hallelujah Chords by Rufus Wainwright, www.Ultimate-Guitar.Com

intro:
|C Am|C Am|

1st:
C Am
I’ve heard there was a secret chord
C Am
That David played and it pleased the Lord
F G C G
But you don’t really care for music do you?

C F G
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
Am F
The minor fall, the major lift
G Em Am
The baffled King composing Hallelujah

F Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah
F C-G-C-C
Hallelujah, hallelujah

2nd:
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you

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

3rd:
Maybe I’ve been here before
I know this room, I’ve walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you

I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

5th:
There was a time when you let me know
What’s real and going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?

And remember when I moved in you
The Holy Dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

6th:
Maybe there’s a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you

And it’s not a cry you can hear at night
It’s not somebody who’s seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah
F Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah
F C-G
Hallelujah, hallelujah
F Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah
F C-G-C
Hallelujah, hallelujah
