I've heard there was a secret chord

That David played, and it pleased the Lord

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

Leonard Cohen (b. 21st September 1934 in Montréal, Quebec) is a Canadian poet, novelist and musician. His musical career has largely overshadowed his prior work as a poet and novelist, although he continued to publish poetry sporadically after his breakthrough in the music industry. In 1967, disappointed with his lack of financial success as a writer, Cohen moved to the United States to pursue a career as a folk music singer-songwriter. During the 1960s, he was a fringe figure in Andy Warhol's "Factory" crowd. Read more on Last.fm

great song
strumming pattern anyone??
Does the first Am in the pre chorus sound strange to anyone else? It throws me off a bit.
This song is awesome and it’s sooo fun to play when you have nothing to do. The chords are perfect and it’s easy to learn.
