                                              But you don't really care for music do you

                                                                   It goes like this the fourth, the fifth, The minor fall, the major lift

                                                                                        The Baffled King composing Hallelujah

                                                                              Chorus

    Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

                                                                                        Verse 2
                                                                                        Your faith was strong but you needed proof you saw her bathing on the roof

    Her beauty in the moonligh overthrew you

                         She tied you to a kitchen chair she broke your thromne, she cut your hair

                                              And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

                                    Chorus
                                    Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

                                                                   Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

                                              Verse 3
                                              Maybe I've been here before I know this room, I've walked this floor

                                                                   I used to live alone before I knew you

                                                                                        I've seen your flag on the marble arch Love is not a victory march

    It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

    Chorus
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

                         Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

    Verse 4:
    There was a time when you let me know what's real and going on below

                         But now you never show it to me do you

                                              Remember when I moved in you the Holy Dark was moving too

                                                                   And every breath we drew was hallelujah

                                                         Chorus
                                                         Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

                                                                                        Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

                                                                   Verse 5:
                                                                   Maybe there's a God above and all I ever learned from love

                                                                                        Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you

    It's not a cry you hear at night it's not somebody who's seen the light

                         It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

               Chorus
               Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

                                              Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

                         Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

                                              Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

More Than Tabs

Hear every part, read it in the notation you prefer, and practise it at your own tempo

Audio Playback

Play the whole score back, or step through it note by note. Every track is synthesised from its own instrument, so a drum line sounds like drums and a piano part sounds like a piano.

Dual Notation

Switch any track between tablature, standard notation and note names — or show them stacked, aligned bar for bar. The same score, in whichever language you read fastest.

Practice Tools

Slow the tempo until a passage sits under your fingers, set the play range to loop the bar you keep missing, and mute the tracks you want to play yourself.

About This Score
