Session 5: "Hallelujah" by Jeff + "Going to California," "Stairway to Heav


[Intro]

C Am C Am

[Verse]

C Am

I heard there was a secret chord

C Am

That David played and it pleased the lord

F G C G

But you don't really care for music, do you?

C F G

Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth

Am F

The minor fall and the major lift

G E7 Am

The baffled king composing hallelujah

[Chorus]

F Am F C G C

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

[Verse]

C Am

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof

C Am

You saw her bathing on the roof

F G C G

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you

C F G

She tied you to her kitchen chair

Am F

She broke your throne and she cut your hair

G E7 Am

And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

[Chorus]

F Am F C G C

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

[Verse]

C Am

Baby I've been here before

C Am

I've seen this room and I've walked this floor

F G C G

I used to live alone before I knew you

C F G

I've seen your flag on the marble arch

Am F

But love is not a victory march

G E7 Am

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

[Chorus]

F Am F C G C

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

[Verse]

C Am

Well there was a time when you let me know

C Am

What's really going on below

F G C G

But now you never show that to me do you

C F G

But remember when I moved in you

Am F

And the holy dove was moving too

G E7 Am

And every breath we drew was hallelujah

[Verse]

C Am

Well, maybe there's a god above

C Am

But all I've ever learned from love

F G C G

Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you

C F G

It's not a cry that you hear at night

Am F

It's not somebody who's seen the light

G E7 Am

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

[Chorus]

F Am F C G C

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

 

"Going to California" by Led Zeppelin with chords

[Verse]

G

Spent my days with a woman unkind,

D

Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.

G

Made up my mind to make a new start,

D

Going to california with an aching in my heart.

G

Someone told me theres a girl out there

D

With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.

[Interlude] (2x)

F G D

[Verse]

G

Took my chances on a big jet plane,

D

Never let them tell you that theyre all the same.

G

The sea was red and the sky was grey,

D

Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today.

G

The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake

D

As the children of the sun began to awake.

Dm

Seems that the wrath of the gods

Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;

A7 A

I think I might be sinking.

Dm

Throw me a line if I reach it in time

Ill meet you up there where the path

A7 A

Runs straight and high.

G

To find a queen without a king;

D

They say she plays guitar and cries as she sings.

G

Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn

D

Tryin to find a woman whos never, never, never been born.

G

Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,

D

Telling myself its not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.

[Outro] (x2)

F G D
