Re: halelujah

Hello ode . . . Perhaps you are looking for the song by Leonard Cohen.  Also, Jeff Buckley did a solo electric version that is well known (but omits verses).  Most recently, a version of the song was used in the Shrek movie soundtrack (also missing some verses).

Here is a link to a version including all the verses and chords - its a great song:

Can you tell me how to fingerpick or strum this song?

Hi,

If you are doing Leonard Cohen's version of Hallelujah, try it in G with capo on the third fret.


Finger pick it in arpeggio (?) style , as in Bass, 3,2,1,2,3 - ie six beats on each chord, then hit the bass note for the next chord on the change.


The exact order of strings you pick on the way up up and down you can adjust to your preference but I think it sounds nice this way!
