Hallelujah


Hallelujah (Cover on youtube) Written by: Leonard Cohen Performed by: Jeff Buckley Cover by: Phil Wickham Source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Q00mWa0_ig Contact: kong_yang9o@hotmail.com This is an overview of what Phil Wickham uses to play Jeff Buckley's "Hallelujah", which is probably the most original and beautiful cover that I've ever seen of the song. I tried to make it as accurate as possible. It may seem very confusing at first, but I placed all of the alternate chords in there so that the song would be easier to play and also more accurate to the way he played it. Enjoy!
