Hallelujah Chords (ver 2) - Jeff Buckley
Hallelujah Chords
This is a beautiful song off Buckley's debut 1994 album "Grace." The original was by Leonard Cohen but I transcribed this from Buckey's version. My tab is similar to the first tab of this song but there are some changes and I've included all the lyrics. Standard Tuning Intro: C Am C Am C Am I heard there was a secret chord C Am That David played and it pleased the lord F G C G But you don't really care for music, do you? C F G Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth Am F The minor fall and the major lift G Em Am The baffled king composing hallelujah Chorus: F Am F C G C Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah .... C Am Well your faith was strong but you needed proof C Am You saw her bathing on the roof F G C G Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you C F G She tied you to her kitchen chair Am F She broke your throne and she cut your hair G Em Am And from your lips she drew the hallelujah F Am F C G C Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah .... C Am Baby I've been here before C Am I've seen this room and I've walked this floor F G C G I used to live alone before I knew you C F G I've seen your flag on the marble arch Am F But love is not a victory march G Em Am It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah F Am F C G C Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah .... C Am Well there was a time when you let me know C Am What's really going on below F G C G But now you never show that to me do you C F G But remember when I moved in you Am F And the holy dove was moving too G Em Am And every breath we drew was hallelujah C Am Well, maybe there's a god above C Am But all I've ever learned from love F G C G Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you C F G It's not a cry that you hear at night Am F It's not somebody who's seen the light G Em Am It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah F Am F C G C Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

About the artist behind Hallelujah Chords:
Over the following two years, the band toured widely to promote the album, including concerts in the U.S., Europe, Japan and Australia. In 1997, he stopped touring and moved to Memphis, Tennessee, to experiment with new material for a second album. During his time there, he recorded many four-track demos and completed his third recording session for his new album with his band, with Tom Verlaine as producer. While awaiting the arrival of his band from New York, he drowned during an evening swim in the Wolf River. His body was found on June 4, 1997.[2]
Since his death, there have been many posthumous releases of his material, including a collection of four-track demos and studio recordings for his unfinished second album My Sweetheart the Drunk and expansions of debut album Grace and his Live at Sin-é EP. Buckley's first #1 came posthumously in March 2008 when "Hallelujah" topped Billboard's Hot Digital Songs following a performance of the song on American Idol. Buckley and his work continue to remain popular and regularly featured in 'greatest' lists in the music press.[3][4]
