I heard there was a secret chord

But you don't really care for music, do you?

It goes like this, the 4th, the 5th

The minor fall and the major lift

The baffled king composing hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you

She tied you to her kitchen chair

And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

Maybe there is a God above

But all I ever learned from love

Was how to shoot at somebody who out drew you

It's not a cry you hear at night
