[Verse 1]
D A7 D
There's a man on corner and his clothes are worn
Bm A/C# D
And he's holding out his hand
G D A Bm* A G
You can see in his eyes as the people walk by
G D/F# Em
He knows they don't understand
G A Bm*
You see, they just think he's gonna take their money
Bm* A G
And then go and spend it on dope
G D A Bm* A G
Then a man stopped by him and I saw a smile inside
G A D
As he gently whispered hope

[Verse 2]
D A7 D
Well the tramp started to cry, just kept saying Why, why, why?
Bm A/C# D
Can't you see I'm a down-and-out
G D A Bm* A G
I'm 32 and I've got this one pair of shoes
G D/F# Em
And a bad taste in my mouth
G A Bm*
I think it's clear to see that even God don't love me
Bm* A G
Or else why would He leave me this way.
G D A Bm* A G
Then Gabriel just smiled and said "Be at peace my child,
G A D
Salvation is here today."
[Chorus]
G D A7 D D/F# G
He got up to his feet and he sang Hallelujah
D A7 D D/F#
People were turning around in the street
G D A7 D D/F#
He looked them in the eyes and he sang Hallelujah
G A Bm*
There's someone here you gotta meet
G A D
Someone you just gotta meet.

[Verse 3]
D A7 D
When the vagabond turned around, well without a sound
Bm A/C# D
Gabriel just smiled and disappeared
G D A Bm* A G
When he looked to the crowd they were laughing out loud
G D/F# Em
But he could not see them for tears
G A Bm*
When his vision came round there was a young girl on the ground
Bm* A G
And he knew she was finding it hard to cope
G D A Bm* A G
She never was a fighter until he laid beside her
G A D
And gently whispered hope
[Refrain]
G D A7 D D/F# G
They got up to their feet and they sang Hallelujah
D A7 D D/F#
People in the street were turning around
G D A7 D D/F# G
They looked them in the eyes and they sang Hallelujah
D A7 D D/F#
Oh, there's someone here that we have found
G D A7 D D/F#
They sang, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
G D A7 D D/F#
We are the voices crying in the wilderness
G D A7 D D/F#
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
G D A7 D D/F#
The people in the street started their sins to confess and a chorus of
G D A7 D D/F#
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
G D A7 D D/F#
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
D A7 D D/F#
Every knee will bow and every tongue confess
G D A7 D D/F#
And the voice of one crying in the wilderness
G D A7 D D/F#
Crying out Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Outro]
