HALLELUJAH (INTRO RIFF) - Jeff Buckley
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Robert Burton (spicynugz)

So I couldn't find this version of the Buckley intro to Hallelujah anywhere, or at least a comprehensible tab
for it, so I decided to tab it myself. In my opinion, this riff/intro in his video is incredible. I didn't
tab the whole song because there are much more comprehensible versions of it elsewhere, particularly Kibs'
version that's almost spot-on with the song. In fact, I've copied the last three guitar riffs (during the
first verse) according to his, so it's seamless. Here is a link to Kibs' version, so you can continue on after
learning this:

Here's a link to Buckley's version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8AWFf7EAc4
Please don't hesitate to correct me if I've made any errors. This is more or less what he does, and it's very
free-form and subject to a lot of personal flair. I hope you guys enjoy!
Tuning: Standard
Capo: 5th (6th if you want to match the video)
