[A] [E]
[D] [A] [C#m]
[D] [A] [E]
[D] [A] [C#m]
[F#m] [A] So the parents remember Hallelujah, with the kids that called her Holly.
And if she scared you, then she's [D] sorry, she's been stranded at these [F#m] parties.
And these parties, they [E] start lovely, but they get [D] druggie, and they get ugly, and they get bloody.
[A] And the priest just kinda laughed, and the deacon caught a draft.
She crashed into the [D] Easter Mass with her hair tied up in broken [F#m] glass.
She was limping left [E] on broken [A] heels, and she said,
Father, [D] can I tell your congregation how a resurrection [A] really feels?
Holly [E] was her [F#] [D] hoodrunner, [A] but now you [C#m] probably know that.
[D] [F#m] [A] And she's been disappeared [E] for years.
[F#m] [D] [A] Today she [C#m] finally came [D] back.
[A] St.
Louis had enslaved me.
I guess Santa Ana [C#m] saved me, and St.
Peter had me on the [D] queue.
The St.
Paul Saints, they [F#m] waved me through.
And I was all [E] wrapped up in some [B] video booth when I heard [D] her say, I love you too.
[A] She's gotta lay beneath my lovers, [E]
but I've never gotten [D] laid.
[A] Some nights she felt [C#m] protected, some nights she felt [D] [A] afraid.
She spent half last [E] winter just to try to get [D] paid.
[A] From some guys she'd originally [C#m]
thought to be her [D] savior.
[A] And wrote her name on magic [E] marks, and stopped signing [D] some subway [A] cars.
They got a mural up on East [C#m] 13th that said, [D] Hallelujah, rest in [A] peace.
Hallelujah was her [E] hoodrunner, but now you [D] probably know that.
[A] And she's been disappeared for [C#m] years.
Today [D] she finally came [A] back.

[A] Don't turn me [E] on again.
[A] I'll [D] probably just go and get myself all gone again.
[A] Walk on back.
Don't turn [E] me on again.
Walk [D] on back.
I'll probably just go and get [A] myself all gone again.
So [E] don't turn me on again.
Walk [D] on back.
I'll probably just go and get myself all gone [A] again.
Hallelujah was a [E] sexy mess, and she looked thrown out, [D] but experienced.
Yeah, so we all got [A] kinda curious.
