  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.

  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
