(L. Cohen/traditional)
|
Hallelujah was originally contained in Leonard Cohen's VARIOUS POSITIONS, while Last Month Of The Year is a blues traditional. On the cd booklet this song is credited only as Hallelujah.
|
|
I heard there was a secret chord
|
that David played and it pleased the Lord
|
But you don't really care for music, do you?
|
Well it goes like this :
|
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
|
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
|
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
|
|
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
|
You saw her bathing on the roof
|
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrough ya
|
She tied you to her kitchen chair
|
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
|
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
|
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
|
|
Baby I've been here before
|
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
|
I used to live alone before I knew ya
|
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
|
And love is not some victory march
|
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
|
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
|
|
There was a time when you let me know
|
What's really going on below
|
But now you never show that to me do ya
|
But remember when I moved in you
|
And the holy dove was moving too
|
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
|
|
Well, maybe there's a God above
|
But all I've ever learned from love
|
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew ya
|
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
|
It's not somebody who's seen the light
|
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
|
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah...
|
|
[and here starts Last Month Of The Year]
|
Tell me what month was Jesus born in
|
Last month of the year
|
Tell me what month was Jesus born in
|
Last month of the year
|
Got January, January, March oh Lord
|
Got April, May and June Lord
|
You got July ,August
|
September, October and November
|
Got the twenty fifth day of
|
December that is the last month of the year
|
|
What month was Jesus born in
|
Last month of the year
|
What month was Jesus born in
|
Last month of the year
|
Got January, February, March oh Lord
|
Got April, May and June Lord
|
You got July, August,
|
September, October and November
|
Got the twenty fifth day of
|
December that is the last month of the year
