Tab
Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley, a cover of the song by Leonard Cohen,
is the same as the cover by Rufus Wainwright
(speaking specifically of the tune sung...)
and those tabs can found on this awsome HarpTabs website:

&

the main variation comes at the very end of the song - Jeff Buckley ends with the following after the last verse:

 5  6  -6 -6   -6  6  5   5
