[Verse 1]
C# G#7 C#
There's a man on corner and his clothes are worn
A#m G#/C C#
And he's holding out his hand
F# C# G# Bm* G# F#
You can see in his eyes as the people walk by
F# C#/F D#m
He knows they don't understand
F# G# Bm*
You see, they just think he's gonna take their money
Bm* G# F#
And then go and spend it on dope
F# C# G# Bm* G# F#
Then a man stopped by him and I saw a smile inside
F# G# C#
As he gently whispered hope

[Verse 2]
C# G#7 C#
Well the tramp started to cry, just kept saying Why, why, why?
A#m G#/C C#
Can't you see I'm a down-and-out
F# C# G# Bm* G# F#
I'm 32 and I've got this one pair of shoes
F# C#/F D#m
And a bad taste in my mouth
F# G# Bm*
I think it's clear to see that even God don't love me
Bm* G# F#
Or else why would He leave me this way.
F# C# G# Bm* G# F#
Then Gabriel just smiled and said "Be at peace my child,
F# G# C#
Salvation is here today."
[Chorus]
F# C# G#7 C# C#/F F#
He got up to his feet and he sang Hallelujah
C# G#7 C# C#/F
People were turning around in the street
F# C# G#7 C# C#/F
He looked them in the eyes and he sang Hallelujah
F# G# Bm*
There's someone here you gotta meet
F# G# C#
Someone you just gotta meet.

[Verse 3]
C# G#7 C#
When the vagabond turned around, well without a sound
A#m G#/C C#
Gabriel just smiled and disappeared
F# C# G# Bm* G# F#
When he looked to the crowd they were laughing out loud
F# C#/F D#m
But he could not see them for tears
F# G# Bm*
When his vision came round there was a young girl on the ground
Bm* G# F#
And he knew she was finding it hard to cope
F# C# G# Bm* G# F#
She never was a fighter until he laid beside her
F# G# C#
And gently whispered hope
[Refrain]
F# C# G#7 C# C#/F F#
They got up to their feet and they sang Hallelujah
C# G#7 C# C#/F
People in the street were turning around
F# C# G#7 C# C#/F F#
They looked them in the eyes and they sang Hallelujah
C# G#7 C# C#/F
Oh, there's someone here that we have found
F# C# G#7 C# C#/F
They sang, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F# C# G#7 C# C#/F
We are the voices crying in the wilderness
F# C# G#7 C# C#/F
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F# C# G#7 C# C#/F
The people in the street started their sins to confess and a chorus of
F# C# G#7 C# C#/F
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F# C# G#7 C# C#/F
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C# G#7 C# C#/F
Every knee will bow and every tongue confess
F# C# G#7 C# C#/F
And the voice of one crying in the wilderness
F# C# G#7 C# C#/F
Crying out Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Outro]
F# C# G#7 D
