The Opposite of Hallelujah Jens Lekman
This is a great song and the chord aren't too hard but as there isn't a version on here
thought I'd put my version up.
I'm not going to tab the part after the first chorus (starts at about 2:07) because
are no chords, it's just
strings and bass and from the videos I've seen, Lekman leaves that part out when
solo.
Intro
C Am G F x4
Violin part (intro and repeated later)

Verse
[C]I took my sister down to the [G]ocean
[C]But the [Am]ocean made me feel [G]stupid
Those words of [F]wisdom I had [C]prepared
All seemed to [F]vanish into thin [D]air
Into the waves I [G]stared[F] [Em] [Dm]
C Am G F x4 with violin part
[C]I picked up a seashell to illustrate my [G]homelessness
[C]But a [Am]crab crawled out of it making it [G]useless
And all my [F]metaphors fell [C]flat
Down on the [F]rocks where we [D]sat
She asked where are you [G]at?[F] [Em] [Dm]
Chorus
But [C]sister, it's the [Am]opposite of halle[G]lujah
It's the [F]opposite of being [C]you
You don't [Am]know 'cause it just passes right [G]through you
You don't [F]know what I'm going [C]through[Am] [G]
You don't [F]know what I'm going [C]through[Am] [G]
You don't [F]know what I'm going [C]through[Am] [G]
You don't [F]know what I'm going [C]through[Am] [G]
Verse
[C]We made our way home on the bikes we had [G]borrowed
[C]I still never [Am]told you about unstoppable [G]sorrow
You still think I'm [F]someone to look up [C]to
I still don't know [F]anything about [D]you
Is it in you [G]too?[F] [Em] [Dm]
Pre-Chorus
[C] You've got [Am]so much [G]to live for, [F] little
[C]sister, You've got so [Am]much to [G]live for[F]
Chorus
But [C]sister, it's the [Am]opposite of halle[G]lujah
It's the [F]opposite of being [C]you
You don't [Am]know 'cause it just passes right [G]through you
You don't [F]know what I'm going [C]through[Am] [G]
You don't [F]know what I'm going [C]through[Am] [G]
You don't [F]know what I'm going [C]through[Am] [G]
You don't [F]know what I'm going [C]through[Am] [G] [F]
Outro
C Am G F repeat till end.
