--------------------------------
[Intro]
C Am C Am
[Verse 1]
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 E7 Am
The baffled king composing hallelujah
[Chorus]
F Am F C G C Am C Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....
[Verse 2]
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 E7 Am
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
[Chorus]
F Am F C G C Am C Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....
[Verse 3]
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 E7 Am
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
[Chorus]
F Am F C G C Am C Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....
[Verse 4]
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 E7 Am
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
[Chorus]
F Am F C G C Am C Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....
[Verse 5]
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 E7 Am
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
[Outro]
F Am F C G C Am C Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....
F Am F C G C Am C Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....
F Am F C G C Am C Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....
Am F G C
Halleluuuuuuujah

Poltergeist: Don't feel alone young brother. When I first started playing guitar 53 years ago, the F chord was hands down the most difficult finger placement (for me anyway) to master in the basic C, F & G chord progression. Hang in there pal, eventually you'll get it down smooth as a baby's bottom. Practice, practice, practice. Best wishes for ya.

Thing i realized when practicing on my guitar is once you have chords down, songs become way more managable instead of trying to practice from scratch.

[@libbymcdowell3206]

Thanks so much for this lesson! 2 quick questions both concerning the "G" chord. 1. I notice that you are using fingers 1,2 & 3 but the diagram uses 2,3, & 4. What's up? 2. When you play the G chord for 2 beats arppegiated what 6 notes do you pick? Thanks again!

[@autumnautumn3455]

I noticed this as well, I find it easier to use 1, 2 and 3 but its much harder to transition, I believe the correct way is 2, 3 and 4 but its more convinient to use 1, 2 and 3. (I can spell convienent for the life of me jfc)

[@anitaafzali8256]

Angry Galamb lol I started today cause my dad shows up like “I got you a guitar” I tried doing a C chord but it sounds like I’m holding all the strings down 😓

[@janbehaeghel1518]

Learn also the classic way of the right hand. Difficult in the beginning, but opens a lot of possibilities, when you control it. It's the same way a flamenco guitarist holds his right hand. Bobby Krieger, guitarist of the Doors played flamenco, before he joined the Doors. Also very interesting for fingerpicking, without plectrum.

[@zoned.s9398]

Angry Galamb ur fake

[@stellaboyd4256]

same i started a few days ago and this isnt as hard as i thought

[@Tortojboksisto]

Even if you're strumming a well-tuned guitar *without* any finger on the frets it's kinda like a mistuned "G" but sometimes it is used as an interchord like in the 90's song "What's up" by "4 Non Blondes". Best wishes and "stay safe!" from Germany!

[@Tobyturnerlovahh]
