Hallelujah (simplified version)

This is how i used to play Hallelujah before i learnt how to play it properly. Its easier to sing and play, so if you cant quite get your chops around the song, then try this version and work your way up to the real thing. All you have to do is learn the bass run at the start of the verse, and play that up to the chorus.Then play the chorus as usual.

@Cre8iveSignWorks thanks shedz, that's a massive compliment. thanks for having a listen!

Man, that was absolutely beautiful. Who is the original artist? I'm guessing Don McLean, but I dunno.

By the way, you need to edit the 'Vincent' video and change his name from 'Mclean' to McLean <-- more correct, but I hope it won't alert the copyright police.)

@EagleMedieval Thanks Eagle! Leonard Cohen wrote the song.

@stueatsbananapancake HA! Yeh, a few songs over a schooner of milk, and all our bar tending troubles would be forgotten.

that takes me back to the civo days, were it all began, good times with a stiff schooner of milk after work
