COHEN LEONARD - "hallelujah" Tablature
Official COHEN LEONARD Tablature & Sheet Music »

Subject: Re: Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen
Well, this is how I play it, in G. I'm more familiar with the version that
John Cale did on the I'm Your fan tribute, which was in C, but that's too
much of a pain in the ass for me. Transpose it down a fifth if you wish.
G Em
I heard there was a secret chord
G Em
that David played and it pleased the Lord,
C G
But you don't really care for music do you.
G C D
It goes like this the fourth the fifth,
Em C D
the minor fall and the major lift
D Em
The baffled king composing hallelujah
C Em C G-D-G
Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja
Easy.

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 a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to ya?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
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 ya
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah
(from Various Positions, 1984)
