  C                C        Am      Am
I heard there was a secret chord

That David played and it pleased the lord
       F            F        G7        G7       C  C       G7   G7
But you don't really care for music, do you? 
            C           C          F               G7
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
        Am    Am              F       F
The minor fall and the major lift

The baffled king composing    hallelu -  jah

  • There is actually a 'Secret' (more like 'tricky chord!' ) in this piece!

  • This E7 chord is easy to get to from the G7 before it...
