Intro: F# A#m | Bmaj | F# A#m | B
F# A#m
I took the supermarket flowers
Bmaj
From the windowsill,
F# A#m
I threw the day old tea
Bmaj D#m
From the cup,
C# B F#
Packed up the photo album Matthew had made,
B C#7 F#
Memories of a life that’s been loved.
F# A#madd13-
Took the “Get well soon” cards
Badd9
And stuffed animals,
F# A#madd13-
Poured the old ginger beer
Badd9 D#m
Down the sink,
C#
Dad always told me:
B F#
“Don’t you cry when you’re down,”
B
But mum, there’s a tear
C# F#
Every time that I blink.
G#m B
Oh, I’m in pieces,
F# C# G#m
It’s tearing me up but I know,
B
A heart that’s broke
F# C#
Is a heart that’s been loved,
So I’ll sing:
Chorus:
F# A#madd13-
Hallelujah,
Badd9 C#
You were an angel
F# A#madd13-
In the shape of my mum.
Badd9 C#
When I fell down,
D#m
You’d be there holding me up,
Bmaj F# C#sus4
Spread your wings as you go
D#m B
And when God takes you back,
F# C#
He’ll say: “Hallelujah, you’re home.”
Instrumental: F# A#m | Badd9 Badd9 Badd9 C#
F# F#add9 A#m A#madd13-
Badd9 Badd9 Badd9 C#
C# F# A#madd13-
I fluffed the pillows made the beds,
Badd9
Stacked the chairs up,
C# F#
Folded your nightgowns
A#m Badd9 C# D#m
Neatly in a case,
C#
John said he’d drive,
B F#
Then put his hand on my cheek,
B C# F#
And wiped a tear from the side of my face.
G#m B
And I hope that I see
F# C# G#m
The world as you did, ‘cause I know
B
A life with love
F# C#
Is a life that’s been lived,
So I’ll sing:
Chorus:
F# A#madd13-
Hallelujah,
Badd9 C#
You were an angel
F# A#madd13-
In the shape of my mum.
Badd9 C#
When I fell down,
D#m
You’d be there holding me up,
Bmaj F# C#sus4
Spread your wings as you go
D#m B
And when God takes you back,
F# C#7
He’ll say: “Hallelujah, you’re home.”
Instrumental: F#add9 | A#madd9-

F# A#m
Hallelujah,
Badd9
You were an angel
F# A#m
In the shape of my mum.
Badd9 D#m
You got to see the person I have become,
B F# C#sus4
Spread your wings and I know
D#m B
That when God took you back,
F# C#sus4 F#
He said: “Hallelujah, you’re home.”
