Hallelujah


Other tabs I found for this song were completely wrong, so here's what I could make of it... Drop that E to a D Use the Bb of your choice (x)=optional...gives a fuller sound if you're playing alone *=of a sort **=preferred Bb Repeating chords: Bb** Dm/A Dmadd6*/G Dm* e---1---------x-----------x----------x---| B---3---------x-----------x----------x---| G---3--------(7)---------(7)--------(7)--| D---3---------7-----------8----------7---| A---1---------5-----------5----------5---| D---x---------7-----------5----------0---| Verse/Chorus: Strum/Pluck those in order, listen to song for rhythm. That's most of the song but there's another part (interlude?) that's a tad bit difficult to figure out cause there's a lot going on...but here's how I play it solo/live...it's not completely right but it sounds fine: e-------------------------| B-------------------------| G-------------------------| D--1-----------5----------| A-(1)--(x16)--(5)--(x16)--| D--1-----------5----------| Repeat a few times then strum Dm* for a bit and go back to main part. Pretty easy song...there are some treble notes in the verse/chorus that you can pick out if you'd like but it doesn't really matter...sounds fine either way. Here are the lyrics for you lazy slobs like myself who don't feel like looking them up but would like to sing along as you play: [Verse 1] I walk down these city streets Just a lonely man inspired Hoping God will send me water down To quench this burning fire If i left here for the mountain A monastery man Things will stay the same so I'll remain And show just who I am Seeing things around me Bonnie and Clyde Graffiti with no message Doctors, medicines, or pride But it doesn't really matter They're blowin' in the wind On the cover of a magazine [Chorus: 2x] Hallelujah Babylon is falling Babylon is falling [Verse 2] I try to wash my dirty hands But they won't come off the water Hopin' truth will make me clean and then Redeem my sons and daughters Though they're not yet on the very highway Pass along below That's why I left my memories far behind the lazy road Seems so simple Future's the past The present all the things we holdin' on to make them last But it doesn't really maeeaahhh (matter) Blow eeeahh (blowin in the wind) Couuhaaahhh (with they’re head high) [Chorus: 2x] Hallelujah Babylon is falling Babylon is falling [Interlude?] Ahhhhh... [4x] Hallelujah Strum softly, sing with spirit. Questions, comments, concerns welcome at homsicksoil@comcast.net
