Cover for "Hallelujah" as recorded by Jeff Buckley, played on a Soprano Ukulele. Played on a Pono Ohai soprano with worth clear strings ; i think they give more projection, louder sound and i really like it, even though the ko'olau gold that came with the Uke had a nice mellow sound.
Here is the tab i wrote, showing the way i do the arpeggios.

Here for the chords :
Intro: C Am C Am
C Am
I heard there was a secret chord C Am
That David played and it pleased the lord F G C G
But you don't really care for music, do you? C F G
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth Am F
The minor fall and the major lift G Em Am
The baffled king composing hallelujah

Chorus: F Am F C G C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah .... C Am
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof C Am
You saw her bathing on the roof F G C G
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
C F G
She tied you to her kitchen chair Am F
She broke your throne and she cut your hair G Em Am
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah F Am F C G C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

C Am
Baby I've been here before C Am
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
F G C G
I used to live alone before I knew you
C F G
I've seen your flag on the marble arch Am F
But love is not a victory march G Em Am
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah F Am F C G C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah .... C Am
Well there was a time when you let me know C Am
What's really going on below F G C G
But now you never show that to me do you C F G
But remember when I moved in you Am F
And the holy dove was moving too G Em Am
And every breath we drew was hallelujah C Am
Well, maybe there's a god above C Am
But all I've ever learned from love F G C G
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you C F G
It's not a cry that you hear at night Am F
It's not somebody who's seen the light G Em Am
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah F Am F C G C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

  • @Manga, read the info carefully. I wrote the tab and posted the link on imageshack in the info...

  • This is an amazing cover.

  • @dogfive113 Thank you

  • is there any sheet music for this song!?? If not, what are the chords??

  • @breakinginsanity thank you for watching, i added the sheet in my comments with lyrics as well. There is a link with the Uke tab (image).

  • merci pour cette belle démonstration.. j'ai plus qu'à répéter.. Je veut changer mon uke.. (c'est un cadeau.. un "premier prix..) Alors je fouille sur YouTube pour voir.."et ces petits Pono là... mmmm.. j'hésite entre un concert.. un soprano...même le ténor me fait envie avec son low G... bon, j'y retourne.. en attendant je reprends mon p'tit mien (un tient vaut mieux que deux tu l'auras..) et je répète avec toi !

    see you soon with your next vid !?

  • Merci Groudzy :)

    Il faut que je m'y remette sérieusement oui !

    Je viens de changer mes cordes pour des Aquila mais je crois qu'il sonnait mieux avec les Worth Clear à mon goût. Peut-être qu'il faut que les aquila mûrissent un peu (les cordes neuves c'est jamais terrible). A bientôt.
