Hallelujah (Chromatic) (Rufus Wainright)

Hallelujah (Chromatic) by Rufus Wainwright
Musical Range: B5 to E6

6    7     7    7    7  -7 -7     -7
I   heard there was  a   secret  chord

6     7  7   7     7  7    -7     -7  -7
That David played and it pleased the Lord

7   -7  -7    -7 -7  -7   7   7 -6   7   7
But you don't really care for music, do you?
 
6  7    7    7      7   -7     -7   -8 
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth,
 
7   8  8   8  -7  8  8  -9
the minor fall, the major lift,
 
9  -9 -9   -9 -9  10 10 10  -9 -9 9
the baffled king composing Hallelujah 


6   7  -7 -7   -7  7  6 6
Hal le lu jah   Hal le lu jah 

6   7 -7 -7   -7   7 6  -6 6 -5 5 -4 5
Hal le lu jah   Hal le lu----jah 

6     7    7    7     7    7  -7  -7  -7
Your faith was strong but you needed proof,

6   7    7   7  7    -7  -7  -7
you saw her bathing on the roof,
 
7   -7 -7  -7 -7  -7 7       7 -6 7   7
her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you 

6    7    7  7  7  -7 -7  -8 
She tied you to a kitchen chair,

7   8      8    8      -7  8    8  -9
she broke your throne, she cut your hair

9   -9    -9   -9 -9   10   10 10 -9 -9 9
and from your lips she drew the Hallelujah 


6   7 -7 -7   -7   7 6 6
Hal le lu jah  Hal le lu jah 

6    7 -7 -7   -7  7  6 -6 6 -5 5 -4 5
Hal le lu jah   Hal le lu----jah 

7  7   7  7   7    -7    -7  -7
Maybe I have been here before,
 
6  7    7   7      7      -7  -7  -7
I know this room; I've walked this floor,
 
7 -7  -7  -7  -7 -7  7  7  -6  7    7
I used to live alone before I knew you

6    7     7    7   7  7   -7 -7  -8
I've seen your flag on the marble arch,

8    8  8  -7  8  8  -9
love is not a victory march,

8    8  -9  -9  -9 -9 10 10  10 -9 -9 -9 9
it's a cold and its a broken Hallelujah 

6   7 -7 -7   -7   7 6 6
Hal le lu jah  Hal le lu jah 

6   7 -7 -7   -7   7 6 -6 6 -5 5 -4 5
Hal le lu jah  Hal le lu----jah 

  6    7  7  7    7  -7  -7  -7
There was a time you let me know

6      7 7   7 7   -7  -7 -7
whats really going on below,

7   -7   -7 -7 -7  -7   7  7 -6   7   7
but now you never show it to me, do you? (and)

6  7   7   7  7  -7   -7  -8
Remember when I moved in you;

7   8 8  8    -7  8  8  -9
the holy dark was moving too,

9   -9 -9 -9    -9  10   10  10 -9 -9 9  9
and every breath we drew was Hallelujah 

6   7 -7 -7    -7   7 6 6
Hal le lu jah  Hal le lu jah 

6   7 -7 -7   -7  7 6 -6 6 -5 5 -4  5
Hal le lu jah  Hal le lu----jah 
 
7  7    7     7 -7  -7 -7
Maybe there's a God above,

6    7  7 7 7   -7     -7   -7
and all I ever learned from love

7   -7  -7  -7  -7  -7 7     7  -6  7    7
was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you

6   6   7   7  7  7   7   -7   -7  -9
And its not a cry you can hear at night,

7   8   8  8  8  -7     8    8  -9
its not somebody who's seen the light,

9  -9 -9   -9  -9 10 10 10 -9 -9 9  9
its a cold and its a broken Hallelujah 


6   7  -7  -7    -7  7  -6  -6
Hal le lu jah    Hal le lu   ja

6   7  -7  -7   -7  7  6  -5
Hal le lu jah   Hal le lu ja

6   7  -7  -7   -7  7  6  6
Hal le lu jah   Hal le lu jah 

6   7  -7  -7   -7   7  6  -6  6  -5  -5
Hal le lu jah   Hal le lu----jah
