    The document is lyrics to the song "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen. It describes a secret chord that pleased the Lord being played by King David and composed into a song of "hallelujah". The song then describes a woman bathing on a roof who overthrew someone with her beauty and drew a "hallelujah" from their lips. It continues describing past relationships with references to flags on marble arches, victories not being marches, and learning from love only how to shoot someone in a draw, concluding it's a cold and broken "hallelujah" that is heard, not a cry at night.

    Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen

    (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 G
    The minor fall and the major lift
    G/B E7 Am
    The baffled king composing hallelujah

    (Refr�o)
    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 G
    She broke your throne and she cut your hair
    G/B E7 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 G
    But love is not a victory march
    G/B E7 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 G
    And the holy dove was moving too
    G/B E7 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 G
    It's not somebody who's seen the light
    G/B E7 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 ....
