[Verse 1]
G D7 G
There's a man on corner and his clothes are worn
Em D/F# 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/B Am
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 D7 G
Well the tramp started to cry, just kept saying Why, why, why?
Em D/F# 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/B Am
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 D7 G G/B C
He got up to his feet and he sang Hallelujah
G D7 G G/B
People were turning around in the street
C G D7 G G/B
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 D7 G
When the vagabond turned around, well without a sound
Em D/F# 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/B Am
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 D7 G G/B C
They got up to their feet and they sang Hallelujah
G D7 G G/B
People in the street were turning around
C G D7 G G/B C
They looked them in the eyes and they sang Hallelujah
G D7 G G/B
Oh, there's someone here that we have found
C G D7 G G/B
They sang, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C G D7 G G/B
We are the voices crying in the wilderness
C G D7 G G/B
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C G D7 G G/B
The people in the street started their sins to confess and a chorus of
C G D7 G G/B
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C G D7 G G/B
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
G D7 G G/B
Every knee will bow and every tongue confess
C G D7 G G/B
And the voice of one crying in the wilderness
C G D7 G G/B
Crying out Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Outro]
