- First of all, thanks to Shrek and @rufuswainwright for introducing me to this song!
Secondly, although I threw a bit of my own flair on this, I'm mostly influenced by the @jeffbuckleymusic version. @PTXofficial also has a great version. Hell, there are dozens of amazing covers of this tune out there, and I'd love to hear your recommendations in the comments.
We'll get back to rock n' roll next week. Promise! Until then, hope you enjoy!

Lyrics:
I 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
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips, she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Baby, I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
You know, I used to live alone before I knew you
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well, there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me, do you?
But remember, when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath, we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above
But, all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you?
And it's not a cry, that you hear at night
It's not somebody, who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah - Hudba
Your performance makes me second guess every love ive ever lost, and whether it was ever love at all. So much torment, and pain. Great job!
Thank you very much!

Glad ya liked it!
Just more proof of what I have said all along, you are a beyond amazing artist who can take any song and turn it into a breathtaking performance. I am truly in awe of you. Rarely am I so moved by a song to the point I have chills, this was one of those times. Thank you for sharing your gift with us mere mortals.
This has unexpectedly become one of my favorite songs to play live.
@@AdamPearceMusic I could only imagine what it would be like to actually perform a song like that and be able to feel the connection to the audience.
Another quality cover Adam, I'm constantly surprised and impressed. "The Future" cover next😅? Much love and Paddy's day wishes from Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪 👌
Thank ya! Not sure what The Future is! Lol
@@AdamPearceMusic its one of Leonard cohens best songs imo, check it out sometime 👌
Great one! Would love a link to these tabs.
A lot of this version is my own creation. Especially the intro and middle section.
Wow.
If you were taking requests, mine would probably be an early Beatle ballad like Til There Was You.
That's a good one!
Что у Вас за гитара? Звучит хорошо!
Try these words I wrote to this song…
Hallelujah… Glory To God
Sung to the song “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen
Verse 1
In Bethlehem long ago
After Your birth the story’s told
The Magi were the first to bring gifts to Ya
They had to travel long and far
By following the brightest star
That led them to their Savior Hallelujah
Verse 2
Not long after You where born
In a dream Joseph was warned
That You would have to flee
Before they knew Ya
Were the One the prophets said
Who'd save us all through Your death
And be our King forever Hallelujah
Verse 3
In the Temple courts at 12 years old
You stayed after the festival
To ask the teachers questions that You knew of
They were surprised at what You said
Your mother Mary was scared to death
In Your Fathers house they found You Hallelujah
Verse 4
Now You grew up became a man
You understood Your Fathers plan
So You set out to tell the world the truth of
How God's kingdom is at hand
We must repent from our sin
Turn and follow You Hallelujah
Verse 5
You chose twelve to follow You
Taught them how to share Gods truth
You showed them that the power of God flows through Ya
You turned the water into wine
You healed the lame the deaf the blind
Raised Lazarus from the dead Hallelujah
Verse 6
The Pharisees who knew the law
Couldn't stand to hear You talk
Because You would rebuke them with the truth of
How You'd destroy the temple and
In three days rebuild again
But they didn't have a clue Hallelujah
Verse 7
At Your last supper You were betrayed
You gave him bread said don't delay
Do quickly what the devil has done through ya
Later in the garden he
Gave You a kiss on the cheek
He sealed God's will for You Hallelujah
Verse 8
They seized You Lord took You away
They had a trial to seal Your fate
They begged Pontious Pilate just to kill Ya
He ordered Lord to have You flogged
But still he felt he would be mobbed
So he let them crucify You Hallelujah
Verse 9
The soldiers treated You with scorn
They mocked You with a crown of thorns
They placed it on Your head after they beat Ya
Then they nailed You to a tree
They pierced Your hands
They pierced Your feet
They watched You hang and bleed Hallelujah
Verse 10
You cried out Father on that tree
Why have You forsaken Me
You even told Your Father to forgive us
It is finished was Your final say
The veil was torn the earth it quaked
Our ransom had been paid Hallelujah
Verse 11
In Joseph's tomb You were laid
The stone rolled open in three days
Mary was the first of all to see Ya
She went to tell them You're alive
She seen her Lord with her own eyes
You conquered death forever Hallelujah
Verse 12
The world has changed but You have not
Your still the greatest gift from God
I'm grateful that God sent You here to save us
Lord, You're not just a gift
You are alive, You breathe You live
You're the gift that keeps on giving Hallelujah
Chorus
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Glory to God

Are you asking where it came from?
