Can you explain a lyric in the song "Hallelujah" for me?

The song Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen in the first verse are the lyrics:
“Well 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?
Well it goes like this:
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah.”
I know very little about music but where it says “The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift” is that referring to how the word hallelujah is sung? If so, what does fourth and fifth refer to?
