Verse 1
Now [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] I've heard there was a		 [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] secret chord
That [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] David played, and it		 [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] pleased the Lord
But [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] you don't really		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] care for music,		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] do you?		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth]
It [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] goes like this, the		 [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] fourth, the		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] fifth
The [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] minor fall, the		 [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] major lift
The [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] baffled king com-		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Third] posing Halle-		 [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] lujah

Chorus
Halle- [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] lujah, Halle-		 [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] lujah
Halle- [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] lujah, Halle-		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] lu-		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] uu-		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] jah.....		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth]

Verse 2
Your [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] faith was strong but you		 [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] needed proof
You [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] saw her bathing		 [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] on the roof
Her [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] beauty and the		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] moonlight over-		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] threw you		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth]
She [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] tied you to a		 [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] kitchen		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] chair
She [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] broke your throne, and she		 [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] cut your hair
And [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] from your lips she		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Third] drew the Halle-		 [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] lujah
Repeat Chorus

Verse 3
But [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] baby I've been		 [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] here before,
I've [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] seen this room and I've		 [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] walked this floor
You [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] know, I lived a-		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] lone before I		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] knew ya		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth]
I've [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] seen your flag on the		 [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] marble		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] arch
But [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] love is not a victory		 [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] march
It's a [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] cold and it's a		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Third] broken Halle-		 [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] lujah

Chorus
Halle- [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] lujah, Halle-		 [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] lujah
Halle- [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] lujah, Halle-		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] lu-		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] uu-		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] jah.....		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth]

Verse 4
[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] Maybe there's a		 [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] God above,
But [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] all I've ever		 [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] learned from love
Was [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] how to shoot some-		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] body who out-		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] drew ya		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth]
And it's [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] not a cry that you		 [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] hear at		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] night
It's [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] not somebody who's		 [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] seen the light
It's a [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] cold and it's a		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Third] broken Halle-		 [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] lujah
