Tab
I've removed "and" and stuff from 
what's shown on the karaoke screen at a few places so that the same tab would work on
all three verses.

You could right-click the link to open in
new tab, or open two instances of Harptabs,
or download the video.  I recommend downloading the video.  You never know when the video will be removed from YouTube.  Real Player SP will do this easily.

 -3’   4     4    4     4  -4  -4   -4   
I've heard there was    a  sec-ret chord 
Your faith  was strong you need-ed proof
      May-  be  there’s a  God  a- bove

 -3’  4  4    4     4    -4     5   -4
That Da-vid played. It pleased the Lord
You saw her bath-  ing   on    the roof
But all  I    e-   ver learned from love

 4  -4   4     -4   4   -4    4  -4  4   -4   4
But you don't real- ly care  for mu-sic, do  you?
Her beau-ty   and  the moon-light o-ver-threw you
Was how to   shoot some-bo-  dy  who out drew you

-3’  4    4    4     4    -4     5   -5
It  goes like this. The fourth, the fifth
She tied you   to   her   kit- chen chair
It’s not  a   cry   you  hear    at night

 6  -6    -6    -6     -6   -7   7    -7
The mi-   nor  fall,   the  ma- jor  lift
She broke your throne, she  cut your hair
It’s not some-  one   who’s seen the light

-5   6   -6    -7  -7   7   -7  -6  6  6  -5
The baf- fled king com-pos- ing hal-le-lu-jah
And from your lips she drew the  7 -7 -7  -6
It’s a  cold  and   a  bro- ken  8 -8 -8   7


After verses 1 and 2:
-4  -5 6   6    6   -5 -4 -4 
Hal-le-lu-jah, hal- le-lu-jah

-4  -5 6   6    6  -5  -4 -5 5 -4  4      
Hal-le-lu-jah, hal-le-     lu-    jah 


After verse 3:
-4  -5 6   6    6   -5 -4 -4 
Hal-le-lu-jah, hal- le-lu-jah

-4  -5 6   6    6  -5  -4 4  -6 6       
Hal-le-lu-jah, hal-le-  lu-   jah 

                                   
-8  7  7  -7   -8  7  -7 -8
Hal-le-lu-jah, Hal-le-lu-jah

-8  -8 -8  7    7  -7   -6 -9 9 -9 8   7
Hal-le-lu-jah, Hal-le-       lu-      jah
 


-4  -5 6   6    6  -5  -4 5 -4   3
Hal-le-lu-jah, hal-le-    lu-   jah      
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
