Leonard Cohen (also Rufus Wainwright)

[G][Em][G][Em][G][Em][G][Em]

[G] They say there was a [Em] secret chord

That [G] David played to [Em] please the Lord,

But [C] you don't really [D] care for music, [G] do ya? [D]

[G] It goes like this: [C] the fourth, the [D] fifth,

The [Em] minor fall, the [C] major lift,

The [D] baffled king composing Halle-[Em]-lujah

Halle-[C]-lujah, Halle-[Em]-lujah,

Halle-[C]-lujah, Halle-[G]-lu-[D][G]-jah. [Em][G][Em]

[G] You saw her bathing [Em] on the roof,

Your [G] faith was strong but you [Em] needed proof.

Her [C] beauty and the [D] moonlight over-[G]-threw ya. [D]

[G] She tied you in her [C] kitchen [D] chair,

[Em] She broke your faith, she [C] cut your hair,

And [D] from your lips, she drew the Halle-[Em]-lujah.

Halle-[C]-lujah, Halle-[Em]-lujah,

Halle-[C]-lujah, Halle-[G]-lu-[D][G]-jah. [Em][G][Em]

[G] They say I took the [Em] name in vain,

[G] I didn't even [Em] know the name.

[C] And if I did, well [D] really, what's it [G] to ya? [D]

There's a [G] blaze of light in [C] every [D] word,

[Em] It doesn't matter [C] which are heard,

The [D] broken or the holy Halle-[Em]-lujah.

Halle-[C]-lujah, Halle-[Em]-lujah,

Halle-[C]-lujah, Halle-[G]-lu-[D][G]-jah. [Em][G][Em]

[G] I did my best, it [Em] wasn't much.

[G] I couldn't feel so I [Em] tried to touch.

[C] I've told the truth, I [D] didn't come to [G] fool you. [D]

And [G] even though it [C] all went [D] wrong,

[Em] I'll stand before the [C] Lord of Song

With [D] nothing on my tongue but Halle-[Em]-lujah

Halle-[C]-lujah, Halle-[Em]-lujah,

Halle-[C]-lujah, Halle-[G]-lu-[D][G]-jah. [Em][G][Em]

[G] Maybe I've been [Em] here before
I [G] know this room, I've [Em] walked this floor
[C] I used to live [D] alone before I [G] knew you [D]
[G] I've seen your flag on the [C] marble [D] arch
[Em] Love is not a [C] victory march
Its a [D] cold and its a broken halle-[Em]-lujah
Halle-[C]-lujah, Halle-[Em]-lujah,

Halle-[C]-lujah, Halle-[G]-lu-[D][G]-jah. [Em][G][Em]

[G] There was a time you'd [Em] let me know
[G] What's real and going [Em] on below
[C] But now you never [D] show it to me [G] do you? [D]
[G] Remember when I [C] moved in [D] you?
The [Em] holy dark was [C] moving too
[D] And every breath we drew was halle-[Em]-lujah

Halle-[C]-lujah, Halle-[Em]-lujah,

Halle-[C]-lujah, Halle-[G]-lu-[D][G]-jah. [Em][G][Em]

[G] Maybe there's a [Em] God above
[G] And all I ever [Em] learned from love
Was [C] how to shoot at [D] someone who out-[G]-drew you [D]
[G] It's not a cry you can [C] hear at [D] night
[Em] It's not somebody who's [C] seen the light
It's a [D] cold and it's a broken halle-[Em]-lujah

Halle-[C]-lujah, Halle-[Em]-lujah,

Halle-[C]-lujah, Halle-[G]-lu-[D][G]-jah.

Halle-[C]-lujah, Halle-[Em]-lujah,

Halle-[C]-lujah, Halle-[G]-lu-[D][G]-jah.
