What's the secret chord Leonard Cohen is talking about in "Hallelujah"?

HERE ARE THE LYRICS:

Now I've heard there was a secret chord

That David played, and it pleased the Lord

But you don't really care for music, do you?

It goes like this

The fourth, the fifth

The minor fall, the major lift

The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her

She tied you

To a kitchen chair

She broke your throne, and she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

You say I took the name in vain

I don't even know the name

But if I did, well really, what's it to you?

There's a blaze of light

In every word

It doesn't matter which you heard

The holy or the broken Hallelujah

The "secret chord" or "lost chord" has been discussed since man first started playing music. It is one that is so pleasing to the Lord that it currys special favor from Him, as David supposedly did.
