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

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

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