Lyrics
Lyrics & Music - Leonard Cohen
Vocal Arrangement Lennox Armstrong
Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you dont 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 her kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well people I've been here before
I know this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not some kind of victory march, no
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujjah
I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didnt 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
Chorus
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
