Intro G  Em  G  Em 
 
Verse 1:
 
   G                 Em 
I heard there was a secret chord 
     G                     Em 
That David played and it pleased the lord 
     C                D               G      D 
But you don't really care for music, do you? 
         G                  C           D 
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth 
     Em                 C      
The minor fall and the major lift 
     D/F#            B7          Em 
The baffled king composing hallelujah 
 
 
 
      C           Em 
Hallelujah, hallelujah 
      C           G  D    
Hallelujah, Hallelu___jah 
 
( G  Dm/G ) 
 
Verse 2:
 
    C             Am 
La fede mia mi abbandonò 
    C           Am 
Si perse, ma si ritrovò 
    F            G            C  G 
Perché smarrito sempre la cercai 
    C                F     G 
Bellezza, incanto e nostalgia 
  Am          F 
Ferirono la mente mia 
        G/B        E7            Am 
Che in lacrime gridava un "hallelujah" 
 
 
 
      F           Am 
Hallelujah, hallelujah 
      F           C  G  C   G 
Hallelujah, Hallelu_____jah 
 
 
Verse 3:
    C         Am 
Il santo nome tuo dirò 
    C          Am 
Un nome che ormai non ho 
  F           G           C  G  
Paura che risuoni dentro me 
    C            F     G 
Di luce esplode la poesia 
     Am         F 
Come una sacra sinfonia 
      G/B          E7             Am 
Che intona per il mondo un "hallelujah" 
 
 
 
      F           Am 
Hallelujah, hallelujah 
      F           C   G     
Hallelujah, Hallelu___jah 
      F           Am 
Hallelujah, hallelujah 
      F           C  G  C   G 
Hallelujah, Hallelu_____jah 
 
Verse 4:
 
  C                Am 
I did my best, it wasn't much 
  C                    Am 
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch 
  F                 G              C     G  
I told the truth, I didn't come to fool ya 
    C              F        G 
And even though it all went wrong 
       Am              F 
I'll stand before the Lord of song 
      G/B           E7              Am 
With nothing on my tongue but hallelujah 
 
 
 
      F           Am 
Hallelujah, hallelujah 
      F           C   G 
Hallelujah, Hallelu___jah 
      F           Am 
Hallelujah, hallelujah 
      F           C  G  C    
Hallelujah, Hallelu_____jah
