      jah!

heard there was a

secret chord,

That David played and it

pleased the Lord,

But you don't really care for

music,

do ya?

Well, it

goes like this, the

4th, the

5th,

The

minor fall and the

major lift,

The

baffled king com

posing halle

lujah,

Halle

lujah, halle

lu--

----j

Instrumental

Verse 2

Your faith was strong but you

needed proof,

You saw her bathing

on the roof,

Her beauty in the moonlight

over

threw ya,

She

tied you to her

kitchen cha

ir,

She

broke your throne and she

cut your hair,

And

from your lips she

drew the halle

lujah,

Halle

lujah, halle

lu--

----

jah

Instrumental

Verse 3

Baby, I've been

here before,

I've seen this room and I've

walked this floor, you know

I used to live alone be

fore I

knew ya.

And I've

seen your flag on the

marble

arch,

And

love is not a vic

tory march,

It's a

cold and it's a b

roken hall

elujah,

Halle

lujah, halle

lu--

----

jah

Instrumental

Verse 4

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.

Well, re

member when I

moved in

you,

And the holy dove was

moving too,

And

every breath we

drew was halle

lujah,

Halle

lujah, halle

lu--

----j

Instrumental

Verse 5

Maybe there's a

God above,

But

all I've ever lear

ned from love,

Was

how to shoot somebody wh

o out

drew ya.

And 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 b

roken halle

lujah,

Halle

lujah, halle

lu-j

Halle

lujah, halle

lu-j

Halle

lujah, halle

lujah, h
