I've 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
T 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 overthrew you.
She tied you to (a) her kitchen chair
Well, she broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
