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 ya GCD It goes like this the fourth the fifth EmC the minor fall and the major lift DBEm The baffled king composing hallelujah CEmCGDGD Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
[Verse 2]
GEm Your faith was strong but you needed proof GEm You saw her bathing on the roof CDGD Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya GCD She tied you to a kitchen chair EmC She broke your throne and she cut your hair DBEm And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah CEmCGDGD Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
[Verse 3]
GEm Baby I've been here before GEm I know this room Ive walked this floor CDGD I used to live alone before I knew you GCD I've seen your flag on the marble arch EmC But Love is not a victory march DBEm It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah CEmCGDGD Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
[Verse 4]
GEm There was a time you let me know GEm What's real and going on below CDGD But now you never show it to me do you GCD I remember when I moved in you EmC The holy dark was moving too DBEm And every breath we drew was hallelujah CEmCGDGD Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
[Verse 5]
GEm Maybe there’s a God above GEm But all I ever learned from love CDGD Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you GCD Its not the cry that you hear at night EmC It's not someone who's seen the light DBEm It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah CEmCGDGD Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
[Verse 6]
GEm You say I took the name in vain GEm But I don't even know the name CDGD But if I did well really what's it to ya GCD There's a blaze of light in every word EmC It doesn't matter which you heard DBEm The holy or the broken Hallelujah CEmCGDGD Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
[Verse 7]
GEm I did my best it wasn't much GEm I couldn't feel so I tried to touch CDGD I've told the truth I didn't come to fool ya GCD And even though it all went wrong EmC I'll stand before the Lord of Song DBEm With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
