[Verse 1]
D# A#7 D#
There's a man on corner and his clothes are worn
Cm A#/D 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#/G Fm
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# A#7 D#
Well the tramp started to cry, just kept saying Why, why, why?
Cm A#/D 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#/G Fm
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# A#7 D# D#/G G#
He got up to his feet and he sang Hallelujah
D# A#7 D# D#/G
People were turning around in the street
G# D# A#7 D# D#/G
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# A#7 D#
When the vagabond turned around, well without a sound
Cm A#/D 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#/G Fm
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# A#7 D# D#/G G#
They got up to their feet and they sang Hallelujah
D# A#7 D# D#/G
People in the street were turning around
G# D# A#7 D# D#/G G#
They looked them in the eyes and they sang Hallelujah
D# A#7 D# D#/G
Oh, there's someone here that we have found
G# D# A#7 D# D#/G
They sang, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
G# D# A#7 D# D#/G
We are the voices crying in the wilderness
G# D# A#7 D# D#/G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
G# D# A#7 D# D#/G
The people in the street started their sins to confess and a chorus of
G# D# A#7 D# D#/G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
G# D# A#7 D# D#/G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
D# A#7 D# D#/G
Every knee will bow and every tongue confess
G# D# A#7 D# D#/G
And the voice of one crying in the wilderness
G# D# A#7 D# D#/G
Crying out Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Outro]
G# D# A#7 D
