[Verse 1]
C G7 C
There's a man on corner and his clothes are worn
Am G/B 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/E Dm
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 G7 C
Well the tramp started to cry, just kept saying Why, why, why?
Am G/B 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/E Dm
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 G7 C C/E F
He got up to his feet and he sang Hallelujah
C G7 C C/E
People were turning around in the street
F C G7 C C/E
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 G7 C
When the vagabond turned around, well without a sound
Am G/B 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/E Dm
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 G7 C C/E F
They got up to their feet and they sang Hallelujah
C G7 C C/E
People in the street were turning around
F C G7 C C/E F
They looked them in the eyes and they sang Hallelujah
C G7 C C/E
Oh, there's someone here that we have found
F C G7 C C/E
They sang, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F C G7 C C/E
We are the voices crying in the wilderness
F C G7 C C/E
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F C G7 C C/E
The people in the street started their sins to confess and a chorus of
F C G7 C C/E
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F C G7 C C/E
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C G7 C C/E
Every knee will bow and every tongue confess
F C G7 C C/E
And the voice of one crying in the wilderness
F C G7 C C/E
Crying out Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Outro]
