For my dear friend Rory Declan McNally 23/7/1959 - 19/3/2016, who made this song his own and I am sure is now happily sharing it with Leonard. God Bless you Rory, from Mal, Enda, Bill and Rob (The Following Boys.) |
HALLELUJAH –Rory’s Song (CAPO3)
[Verse 1]
G I heard there was a Em secret chord
That G David played and it Em pleased the lord
But C you don't really D care for music, G do you? D
It G goes like this the C fourth, the D fifth
The Em minor fall and the C major lift
The D baffled king B7 composing Hallelu Em jah
[Chorus]
Hallelu C jah, Hallelu Em jah, Hallelu C jah, Hallelu- G u D -u G -u-jah ....
[Verse 2]
Your G faith was strong but you Em needed proof
You G saw her bathing Em on the roof
Her C beauty and the D moonlight over G threw D you
She G tied you to the C kitchen D chair
She Em broke your throne and she C cut your hair
And D from your lips she B7 drew the Hallelu Em jah
[Chorus]
Hallelu C jah, Hallelu Em jah, Hallelu C jah, Hallelu- G u D -u G -u-jah ....
[Verse 3]
I G know that I've been Em here before
I've G seen this room and I've Em walked this floor
I C used to live D alone before I G knew you D
I've G seen your flag on the C marble D arch
But Em love is not a victory C march
It's a D cold and it's a B7 broken Hallelu Em jah
[Chorus]
Hallelu C jah, Hallelu Em jah, Hallelu C jah, Hallelu- G u D -u G -u-jah ....
[Verse 4]
Maybe G there's a god Em above
But G all I've ever got from Em love
Was C how to shoot at D someone who G outdrew you D
It's G not a cry that you C hear at D night
It's Em not someone who's seen the C light
It's a D cold and it's a B7 broken hallelu Em jah
[Chorus]
Hallelu C jah, Hallelu Em jah, Hallelu C jah, Hallelu- G u D -
Hallelu C jah, Hallelu Em jah, Hallelu C jah, Hallelu- G u D -
Hallelu C jah, Hallelu Em jah, Hallelu C jah, Hallelu- G u D -
u G -u-jah ....
