    (L. Cohen)
    Originally contained in Leonard Cohen's Various Positions

    I heard there was a secret chord
    that David played and it pleased the Lord
    But you don't really care for music, do you?
    Well it goes like this :
    The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
    The baffled king composing Hallelujah

    Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...

    Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
    You saw her bathing on the roof
    Her beauty and the moonlight overthrough ya
    She tied you to her kitchen chair
    She broke your throne and she cut your hair
    And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

    Baby I've been here before
    I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
    I used to live alone before I knew ya
    I've seen your flag on the marble arch
    But love is not a victory march
    It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

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

    Well, maybe there's a God above
    But all I've ever learned from love
    Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
    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...
