ALLELUIA (COHEN)

1. A secret chord once sounded.     C a  [G e]
The Lord rejoiced when David played.      C a  [G e]
But nobody feels that way today.     F G C G  [CDG]
The fourth and the fifth went like that,            C F G    [GCD]
Once higher in the major, once lower on a mole.       a F      [e C]
The unfortunate king put together: Alleluia!      G E7 a C7  [DHeG]

Alleluia, alleluia.     F e      [C e]
Alleluia, alleluia.     F C G C  [CGDG]
               G7          [D7]
2. On faith you didn't want to take anything.
But it was the moonlight that made it,
That her beauty has won you over forever.
The kitchen chair is on your ferry.
She shaved you, you don't have the strength anymore.
And she tore it out of your throat: Alleluia!
3. Why do you keep reproaching me?,  C a [G e]
That I call him in vain.         C a [G e]
I even F   [C]
I don't know Him by Name!           G C G   [DGD]
There is a gleam of light in every word.  C F G   [GCD]
It doesn't matter if you hear it today.        a F     [e C]
Holiest or unclean: Alleluia! G E7 a C7[DHeG]

Alleluia, alleluia.     F e               [C e]
Alleluia, alleluia.     F C G C     [CGDG]
               G7          [D7]
4. I am trying so hard, but well,
I only touch instead of feel.
But I am telling the truth, I don't want to deceive you.
And although everything went wrong,
I will present myself to the Lord of songs,
Only having on his lips: Alleluia!
