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).
C Am7 C Am7
/B C /B Am7 /B
Well I heard there was a secret chord
C /B Am7
David played and it pleased the lord
/B F G C Am7
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
/B C /B F G
And it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
Am F G
The minor fall and the major lift
Am E Am
The baffled king composin' "Hallelujah"
F
Hallelujah
Am
Hallelujah
F
Hallelujah
C G C Am7 C Am7
Hallelu- jah
/B C /B Am7 /B
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
C /B Am7
Saw her bathing on the roof
/B F G C /B Am7
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya
/B C /B F G
And she tied you to a kitchen chair
Am F G
Broke your throne and cut your hair
Am E Am
And from your lips she drew "Hallelujah"
F
Hallelujah
Am
Hallelujah
F
Hallelujah
C G C Am7 C Am7
Hallelu- jah
C Am7
Well baby I've been here before
C Am7
I know this room and I walked this floor
F G C Am7
You know, I used to live alone before I knew ya
C F G
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Am7 F G
But love is not a victory march
Am E Am
It's a cold and it's a broken "Hallelujah"
F
Well Hallelujah
Am
Hallelujah
F
Hallelujah
C G F
Hallelu- jah
E
Oh it's just hallelujah
Am F G
It's just hallelujah
C Am7
Maybe there's a God above
C Am7
But all I ever learned from love
F G C Am7
Was how to shoot somebody who out drew ya
C F G
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
Am F G
It's not somebody who's seen the light
Am E Am
It's a cold and it's a broken "Hallelujah"
F
Well hallelujah
Am
Hallelujah
F
Hallelujah
C G
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
