Lyrics
I heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music
Do ya?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall
And the major lift
The baffled king composing Halleluja
Halleluja
Halleluja
Halleluja
Halleluja
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
Well she tied you to a kitchen chair, she
Broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Halleluja
Halleluja
Halleluja
Halleluja
Halleluja
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 Halleluja
Halleluja
Halleluja
Halleluja
Halleluja
Halleluja
Halleluja
Halleluja
Halleluja
