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

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

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