Author/Performer: Leonard Cohen
And it pleased the Lord
But you don't real-ly
Care for mu-sic, do you?
The fourth, the fifth
The mi-nor fall, the ma-jor lift
The baf-fled king com-pos-ing
Hal-le-lu-jah
Hal-le-lu-jah, hal- le-lu-jah
Hal-le-lu-jah, hal-le- lu- jah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hal-le lu- jah
Baby I have been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you.
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
There was a time you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in with you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
Hal-le-lu-jah, Hal-le-lu-jah
Hal-le-lu-jah, Hal-le- lu- jah
