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".

GEm I heard there was a secret chord GEm that David played and it pleased the Lord CDGD but you don't really care for music do you G well it goes like this CDEmC the fourth the fifth the minor fall and the major lift DB7Em the baffled king composing Hallelujah
GEm well your faith was strong but you needed proof GEm you saw her bathing on the roof CDD7GD her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you GCD she tied you to her kitchen chair EmC she broke your throne and she cut your hair DB7Em and from your lips you drew a Hallelujah
GEm baby I've been here before GEm i've seen this room and I've walked this floor CDD7GD i used to live alone before I knew you GCD and I've seen your flag on the marble arch EmC and love is not a victory march DB7Em it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
GEm there was a time when you let me know GEm what's really going on below CDD7GD but now you never show that to me do you GCD but remember when I moved in you EmC and the holy dove was moving too DB7Em and every breath we drew was Hallelujah
GEm maybe there's a God above GEm but all I've ever learned from love CDD7GD was how to shoot at somebody who outdrew you GCD and it's not a cry that you hear at night EmC it's not somebody who's seen the light DB7Em it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
