Bridge
Once you get the pattern down you can just use this lead sheet.
(The /B is just the second string second fret part of the pattern above, I left them out
the later verses because you should have the idea by then).
/B C /B Am7 /B
Well I heard there was a secret chord
/B
David played and it pleased the lord
/B
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
/B /B
And it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composin' "Hallelujah"
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu- jah
/B C /B Am7 /B
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
/B
Saw her bathing on the roof
/B /B
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya
/B /B
And she tied you to a kitchen chair
Broke your throne and cut your hair
And from your lips she drew "Hallelujah"
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu- jah
Well baby I've been here before
I know this room and I walked this floor
You know, I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken "Hallelujah"
Well Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu- jah
Oh it's just hallelujah
It's just hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above
But all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who out drew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken "Hallelujah"
Well hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu- u- jah
There you have it. Just listen for changes in strumming/picking between verses, they're
based of the main pattern. I think that in this recording he probably only plays E
and not E major/G# as I have noted above, which is more like the original. Here's the
Cohen chord progression, which Street To Nowhere altered only slightly:
Verse:
I vi I vi
IV V I V
I IV, V vi IV
V III7/bVI (or V6/5 of vi) vi vi
Chorus:
IV vi IV I, V I V
