Now I've head 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 and the major lift,
The baffled king composing "Hallelujah".

Hallelujah (4x)

You faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
He beauty the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke you throne and she cut you hair
And from you lips drew an Hallelujah.

Hallelujah (4x)

I did my best, it wasn't much,
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch,
I've told the truth, I didn't, come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I'll pray before the Lord of Song,
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah (8x)
