Subject: RE: Chord Req: Cohen's Hallelujah
Jeremiah's C chord for the 'major lift' sounds better as a D. I might have 'adapted' the tune though. I'm singin' an A note, and it's in the D chord but doesn't sound right with the G in the C chord...or something.

Transposing is a valuable skill:
(Snuck my change in in italics. Otherwise, it would be an F)

Now I've (C)heard there was a (Am)secret chord that (C)David played, and it (Am)pleased the Lord
But (F)you don't really (G)care for music, (C)do ya? (G)
It (C)goes like this: the (F)fourth, the (G)fifth, the (Am)minor fall, the (G)major lift
The (G)baffled king com-(Em)posing Halle-(Am)lujah

Halle-(F)lujah                              Halle-(Am)lujah
Halle-(F)lujah                              Halle-(C)(G)lu-(C)jah (G)
