Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen – 3-string Open G GDG – Cigar Box Guitar Tablature

Open G GDG Listing ImageThe tablature in the PDF link below shows you how to play the melody and chords for the song Hallelujah, written and performed by Leonard Cohen. This is one of the best known of Cohen’s songs, and has been covered many times. It is one of the most hauntingly beautiful modern songs, and like many of the most powerful songs it has a quite simple melody line that is pretty easy to play on a cigar box guitar.

The printable tablature sheet linked below contains both the simple melody-only version as well as a more advanced version that includes some chords. You can also view the video below where Gitty shows you how to play it.

All of the cigar box guitar tablature here on CigarBoxGuitar.com is presented by The Southbound String Company, the only strings specifically chosen and voiced for cigar box guitars. Be sure to check out our line of Open G GDG cigar box guitar string sets here!

  1. I’m sure it could David! Unfortunately we do not have a tab or how-to lesson on playing it on a slide guitar at this time.

  2. Very simple and very nice. I enjoyed it, as I believe others will too.
