JEFF BUCKLEY - "Hallelujah" Tablature
Official JEFF BUCKLEY Tablature & Sheet Music »
Song: Hallelujah
Album: Grace
Tuning: EADGBe
Capo: 5th Fret
Considering how great this song is, I'm surprised that no-one else has tabbed it, but
then again its a long, long song. Anyways, this is about as close to accurate as your
gonna get for free. Remeber 5th fret Capo!
Intro: (gradually becoming louder and faster)

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official JEFF BUCKLEY tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
