Verse:
CAm
I've heard there was a secret chord
CAm
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
FGCG
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Pre-Chorus:
CFG
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
AmF
The minor fall, the major lift
GEmAm
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Chorus:
FAm
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
FC-G-C-C
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Verse:
CAm
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
CAm
You saw her bathing on the roof
FGCG
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
Pre-Chorus:
C
She tied you
FG
To a kitchen chair
Am
She broke your throne,
F
she cut your hair
GEmAm
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Chorus:
FAm
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
FC-G-C-C
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Verse:
CAm
But baby I've been here before
CAm
I've seen this room, I've walked this floor
FGCG
I used to live alone before I knew you
Pre-Chorus:
CFG
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
AmF
love is not a victory march
GEmAm
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
Chorus:
FAm
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
FC-G-C-C
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Verse:
CAm
There was a time you'd let me know
CAm
What's real and going on below
FGCG
But now you never show it to me do you?
Pre-Chorus:
CFG
Remember when I moved in you?
AmF
The holy dove was moving too
GEmAm
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
Chorus:
FAm
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
FC-G-C-C
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Verse:
CAm
Maybe there's a God above
CAm
And all I ever learned from love
FGCG
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
Pre-Chorus:
CFG
It's not a cry you can hear at night
AmF
It's not somebody who's seen the light
GEmAm
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
Outro:
FAm
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
FC-G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
FAm
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
FC-G-C
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Jeffrey Scott “Jeff” Buckley (born in Anaheim, California, USA on 17 November 1966 – 29 May 1997), raised as Scotty Moorhead, was an American singer-songwriter and guitarist. He was the son of musicians Tim Buckley and Mary Guibert.
He had emerged in New York City’s avant-garde club scene in the 1990s as one of the most remarkable musical artists of his generation, acclaimed by audiences, critics, and fellow musicians alike. His first commercial recording, the four-song EP Live At Sin-é, was released in December 1993 on Columbia Records.
Chord progressions are the heart of most songs. Whether you’re playing a catchy pop tune, a jazzy ballad, or a mellow folk melody, the sequence of chords you choose lays the foundation for your music.…
What’s the finger picking pattern for the chorus?
this song is best when you have nothing left to do during quarantine!
Try replace Em with E7 and it might sound better
I’ve been waiting 4 years for this!!!! Hyped is an understatement.
it says “the holy dark was moving too” it’s supposed to be dove! That’s a really sad mistake. 🙁
Is it just me or does Am not really fit the song in some parts?
any one have any ideas for a substitute
I keep the plucking pattern through the whole song. It’s a little tricky but I think it sounds best that way.
For the final hallelujah in the chorus, I like to do C, and then replace the G by picking E 1st fret and then E open, and then G C
So instead of CGCC, i play C-E1-E0-G-C
hey is anyone else having trouble with the main chorus? the hallelujah part? im like brand new and I have no idea how that part works
what strum pattern are you guys using/
