Biography:
Beirut is an American indie-rock and world music band which was originally the solo musical project of Zach Condon (born Zachary Francis Condon in Santa Fe, New Mexico) and later expanded into a band. The band's first performances were in New York, in May 2006, to support the release of their debut album, Gulag Orkestar.
Condon recorded before Beirut was established: when he was fifteen and under the name of Realpeople, he made an electronic record, fashioned after his love for The Magnetic Fields.

C Am x4
VERSE 1
C Am
Now I've heard there was a secret chord
C Am
That David played and it pleased the Lord
F G C G
But you don't really care for music do you
C F G
It goes like this the fourth the fifth
Am F
The minor fall the major lift
G E7 Am
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
CHORUS
F
Hallelujah
Am
Hallelujah
F
Hallelujah
C G C Am C Am
Hallelujah
VERSE 2
C Am
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
C Am
You saw her bathing on the roof
F G C G
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
C F G
She tied you to a kitchen chair
Am F
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
G E7 Am
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
CHORUS
VERSE 3
C Am
Baby I have been here before
C Am
I've seen this room I've walked this floor
F G C G
I used to live alone before I knew you
C F G
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Am F
Love is not a victory march
G E7 Am
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
CHORUS
VERSE 3
C Am
Maybe there's a God above
C Am
But all I've ever learned from love
F G C G
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
C F G
It's not a cry that you hear at night
Am F
It's not somebody who's seen the light
G E7 Am
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
CHORUS
