This is an overview of what Phil Wickham uses to play
Jeff Buckley's "Hallelujah", which is probably the most original
and beautiful cover that I've ever seen of the song.
I tried to make it as accurate as possible.
It may seem very confusing at first, but I placed all of the
alternate chords in there so that the song would be easier to play
and also more accurate to the way he played it.  Enjoy!
