Leonard Cohen (21 Septiembre 1934 – 7 Noviembre 2016) nació en una familia judía de clase media de ascendencia polaca en Montreal y creció en Westmount. Su padre, Nathan Cohen, era propietario de una tienda de corte y confección y falleció cuando el joven poeta contaba nueve años. Según la tradición familiar, los Cohen descienden de los Kohanim. "Fui querido como un mesías", contó Cohen a Richard Golstein en 1967, "y se me decía que descendía de Aarón".

CAm I've heard there was a secret chord CAm That David played and it pleased the Lord FGCG But you don't really care for music do you CFG Well it goes like this the fourth the fifth AmF The minor fall and the major lift GEm7Am The baffled king composing Hallelujah
CAm Your faith was strong but you needed proof CAm You saw her bathing on the roof FGCG Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you CFG She tied you to a kitchen chair AmF She broke your throne and she cut your hair GEm7Am And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
CAm Baby I've been here before CAm I know this room I've walked this floor FGCG I used to live alone before I knew you CFG I've seen your flag on the Marble Arch AmF But love is not a victory march GEm7Am It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
CAm There was a time you let me know CAm What's really going on below FGCG But now you never show it to me do you CFG I remember when I moved in you AmF And the holy dove was moving too GEm7Am and every breath we drew was Hallelujah
CAm Now maybe there's a God above CAm As for me all I ever learned from love FGCG Is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you CFG It's no complaint you hear tonight AmF It's not some pilgrim who's seen the light GEm7Am It's a cold and it's a very lonely Hallelujah
