Wonderwall Lyrics With Chords
Song – Hallelujah
Artist – Leonard Cohan ( Cover version by Jeff Buckley )
Chords – C, Am, F, G, and E7 ( No Capo )
[Verse 1]
I [C]heard there was a [Am]secret chord
That [C]David played, and it [Am]pleased the Lord
But [F]you don’t really [G]care for music, [C]do ya? [G]
Well it [C]goes like this, the [F]fourth, the [G]fifth
The [Am]minor fall, the [F]major lift
The [G]baffled king [E7]composing ” Halle[Am]lujah “
[Chorus]
Halle[F]lujah, Halle[Am]lujah
Halle[F]lujah, Halle[C]lu-u-[G]u-u-[C]jah
[Verse – 2]
Your [C]faith was strong but you [Am]needed proof
You [C]saw her bathing [Am]on the roof
Her [F]beauty in the [G]moonlight over[C]threw ya [G]
She [C]tied you to a [F]kitchen [G]chair
She [Am]broke your throne, and she [F]cut your hair
And [G]from your lips she [E7]drew the Halle[Am]lujah
[Chorus]
Halle[F]lujah, Halle[Am]lujah
Halle[F]lujah, Halle[C]lu-u-[G]u-u-[C]jah
[Verse – 3]
[C]Baby, I’ve been [Am]here before
I’ve [C]seen this room, I’ve [Am]walked this floor
I [F]used to live a[G]lone before I [C]knew you [G]
I’ve [C]seen your flag on the [F]marble [G]arch
But [Am]Love is not a vic[F]tory march
It’s a [G]cold and it’s a [E7]broken Halle[Am]lujah
[Chorus]
Halle[F]lujah, Halle[Am]lujah
Halle[F]lujah, Halle[C]lu-u-[G]u-u-[C]jah
[Verse – 4]
Well, there [C]was a time you [Am]let me know
What’s [C]really going [Am]on below
But [F]now you never [G]show it to me, [C]do you? [G]
But re[C]member when I [F]moved in [G]you
And the [Am]holy dove was [F]moving too
And [G]every breath we [E7]drew was Halle[Am]lujah
[Chorus]
Halle[F]lujah, Halle[Am]lujah
Halle[F]lujah, Halle[C]lu-u-[G]u-u-[C]jah
[Verse – 5]
Well, [C]maybe there’s a [Am]God above
But [C]all I’ve ever [Am]learned from love
Was [F]how to shoot some[G]body who out[C]drew ya [G]
And it’s [C]not a cry that you [F]hear at [G]night
It’s [Am]not somebody who’s [F]seen the light
It’s a [G]cold and it’s a [E7]broken Halle[Am]lujah
[Outro]
Halle[F]lujah, Halle[Am]lujah
Halle[F]lujah, Halle[C]lu-u-[G]u-u-[C]jah
Halle[F]lujah, Halle[Am]lujah
Halle[F]lujah, Halle[C]lu-u-[G]u-u-[C]jah
Halle[F]lujah, Halle[Am]lujah
Halle[F]lujah, Halle[C]lu-u-[G]u-u-[C]jah
