Hallelujah, Hallelujah for Ukulele by Leonard Cohen

Intro [C] [Am] [C] [Am]

Verse 1

Well I've [C]heard there was a [Am]secret chord,

That [C]David played and it [Am]pleased the Lord,

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

It [C]goes like this, the [F]4th, the [G]5th,

the [Am]minor fall and the [F]major lift,

The [G]baffled king com- [E7]posing halle- [Am]lujah,

Chorus

Halle- [F]lujah, halle- [Am]lujah,

halle- [F]lujah, halle [C]lu---[G]---[C]jah

Verse 2

Your [C]faith was strong but you [Am]needed proof,

You [C]saw her bathing [Am]on the roof,

Her [F]beauty and the [G]moonlight over- [C]threw ya, [G]

She [C]tied you to her [F]kitchen [G]chair,

She [Am]broke your throne and she [F]cut your hair,

And [G]from your lips she [E7]drew the halle- [Am]lujah,

Chorus

Halle- [F]lujah, halle- [Am]lujah,

halle- [F]lujah, halle [C]lu---[G]---[C]jah

Verse 3

May [C]be there is a [Am]God above,

But [C]all I ever [Am]learned from love,

Was [F]how to shoot at [G]someone who out- [C]drew ya. [G]

And it's [C]not a cry you can [F]hear at [G]night,

It's not [Am]somebody who's [F]seen the light,

It's a [G]cold and it's a [E7]broken halle- [Am]lujah,

Chorus

Halle- [F]lujah, halle- [Am]lujah,

halle- [F]lujah, halle [C]lu---[G]---[C]jah

Verse 4

I [C]did my best, it [Am]wasn’t much,

I [C]couldn’t feel so I [Am]tried to touch,

I’ve [F]told the truth, I [G]didn’t come to [C]fool ya. [G]

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

I’ll [Am]stand before the [F]Lord of Song,

With [G]nothing on my [E7]tongue but halle- [Am]lujah,

Chorus

Halle- [F]lujah, halle- [Am]lujah,

halle- [F]lujah, halle [C]lu---[G]---[C]jah

Verse 5

There [C]was a time when you [Am]let me know,

What's [C]really going [Am]on below,

But [F]now you never [G]show it to me [C]do ya. [G]

Well re-[C]member when I moved [F]in with [G]you,

And the [Am]holy dove was [F]moving too,

And [G]every breath we [E7]drew was halle- [Am]lujah

Chorus

Halle- [F]lujah, halle- [Am]lujah,

halle- [F]lujah, halle [C]lu---[G]---[C]jah

Halle- [F]lujah, halle- [Am]lujah,

halle- [F]lujah, halle [C]lu---[G]---[C]jah
