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 Now 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 It goes like this the fourth the fifth AmF The minor fall the major lift GEF 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 GEAm And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
CAm You say I took the name in vain CAm Though I don't even know the name FGCG But if I did well really what's it to you CFG There's a blaze of light in every word AmF It doesn't matter which you heard GEF The holy or the broken Hallelujah
CAm I did my best it wasn't much CAm I couldn't feel so I tried to touch FGCG I've told the truth I didn't come to fool you CFG And even though it all went wrong AmF I'll stand before the Lord of Song GEF With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
