"Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen
(Intro 4 bars. 6/8 time)
I 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
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah,
Hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....
Baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Chorus
Repeat verse 1
