Hallelujah Guitar Tab
There are many different versions of the song, the original was sung by Leonard Cohen in 1984. Ever since that time it's been covered by various artists and some have even changed the lyrics a bit. I've decided to tab the version by Rufus Wainwright. You might recongnise this version since it was used in the movie 'Shrek'.
