Hallelujah (as performed by Rufus Wainwright)

*8va means octave, this mostly applies to piano/keyboard but if you feel the need to play it an octave up knock yourself out!

Intro:
C Am C Am

C                          Am
Now 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(8va)
The minor fall, the major lift
    G            Em               Am
The baffled king composing hallelujah

     F
Hallelujah
     Am
Hallelujah
     F

Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
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 baby, 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
And love is not a victory march
It?s a cold and it?s a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

There was a time when you let me know
What?s really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew is Hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Maybe there is a God above
But all I?ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot someone who outdrew you
And it?s not a cry that you hear at night
It?s not somebody who?s seen the light
It?s a cold and it?s a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
