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

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

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