 1    5     5     5    5  -5 -5  -5
 I’ve heard there was  a  secret chord
 
 4    5 5   5      5   5  -5      -5  -5
 That David played and it pleased the Lord
 
 5   -5  -5    -5 -5  -5   5   5 -4   5  5
 But you don't really care for music, do you?
 
 1  5    5    5     5   -5      -5   -6
 It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth,
 
 5   6  6  6     -5  6 6   -7
 the minor fall, the major lift,
 
 7   -7 -7   -7  -7 8 8  8   -7 -7 7 
 the baffled king composing Hal le lu jah
 
 4   5  -5 -5    -5  5  4 4
 Hal le lu jah   Hal le lu jah
 
 4   5 -5 -5    -5  5  4  -4 4 -3 3 -2 3
 Hal le lu jah  Hal le lu--------------jah
 
 4    5    5   5      5   5   -5  -5 -5
 Your faith was strong but you needed proof,
 
 4   5   5   5  5    -5 -5  -5
 you saw her bathing on the roof,
 
 5   -5 -5  -5 -5  -5  5     5 -4 5    5
 her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
 
 4   5    5  5  5 -5 -5   -6
 She tied you to a kitchen chair,
 
 5   6     6    6       -5  6   6   -7
 she broke your throne, she cut your hair
 
 7   -7   -7   -7  -7  8    8  8  -7 -7 7 
 and from your lips she drew the Hal le lu jah
 
 4   5  -5 -5    -5  5  4  4
 Hal le lu jah   Hal le lu jah
 
 4   5  -5 -5    -5  5  4 -4 4 -3 3 -2 3
 Hal le lu jah   Hal le lu-------------jah 
 
 5  5  5 5    5    -5   -5 -5
 Maybe I have been here before,
 
 5 5    5    5     5    -5     -5   -5
 I know this room; I've walked this floor,
 
 5 -5   -5 -5   -5 -5 5  5  -4 5    5
 I used to live alone before I knew you
 
 1    5    5    5    5  5   -5 -5  -6
 I've seen your flag on the marble arch,
 
 6    6  6  -5 6  6   -7
 love is not a victory march,
 
 6    6 -7   -7  -7  -7 8  8   8  -7 -7 -7 7
 it's a cold and it’s a broken Hal le lu----jah
 
 4   5  -5 -5    -5  5  4  4
 Hal le lu jah   Hal le lu jah
 
 4   5  -5 -5    -5  5  4 -4 4 -3 3 -2 3
 Hal le lu jah   Hal le lu-------------jah
 
 1     5   5 5    5   -5  -5 -5
 There was a time you let me know
 
 4      5  5  5 5   -5 -5 -5
 what’s really going on below,
 
 5   -5  -5  -5 -5 -5   5  5  -4  5  5
 but now you never show it to me, do you? (and)
 
 1 5  5   5   5 -5    -5 -6
 Remember when I moved in you;
 
 5   6 6  6    -5  6  6   -7
 the holy dark was moving too,
 
 7   -7 -7 -7     -7 8    8  8  -7 -7 7 7
 and every breath we drew was Hal le lu---jah
 
 4   5  -5 -5    -5  5  4  4
 Hal le lu jah   Hal le lu jah
 
 4   5  -5 -5    -5  5  4 -4 4 -3 3 -2 3
 Hal le lu jah   Hal le lu-------------jah
 
 5  5  5      5 -5  -5 -5
 Maybe there's a God above,
 
 4   5   5 5 5  -5      -5   -5
 and all I ever learned from love
 
 5   -5  -5 -5   -5 -5  5   5   -4 5    5
 was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
 
 4   4    5   5 5   5   5   -5   -5  -7
 And it’s not a cry you can hear at night,
 
 5    6   6  6  6  -5    6    6   -7
 it’s not somebody who's seen the light,
 
 7   -7 -7   -7  -7  8 8  8  -7  -7 7  7
 it’s a cold and it’s a broken Hal le lu jah
 
 
 4   5  -5 -5    -5  5  -4 -4
 Hal le lu jah   Hal le lu ja
 
 4   5  -5  -5   -5  5  4  -3
 Hal le lu jah   Hal le lu ja
 
 4   5  -5  -5   -5  5  4  4
 Hal le lu jah   Hal le lu jah
 
 4   5  -5  -5   -5  5  4 -4 4 -3 -3
 Hal le lu jah   Hal le lu--------jah
