A very popular song originally released by Canadian singer Leonard Cohen in 1984, "Hallelujah" has since lead to countless covers and re-imaginations - it even appeared in the 2001 animated musical film Shrek!
A lovely slow and easy tune to play, a great one for beginners to practice playing. Enjoy!
Did you know?! Some of the artists to cover Hallelujah include Jeff Buckley, John Cale, Alexandra Burke, Pentatonix, Bob Dylan, Regina Spektor, Bon Jovi, Justin Timberlake, Willie Nelson, Lindsey Stirling and Susan Boyle.

Your faith was strong but you needed proof

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you

She tied you to a kitchen chair

She broke your throne and she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the "Hallelujah"
