Intro: F# A#m | Bmaj | F# A#m | B

           F#             A#m                 Bmaj
I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill,
            F#        A#m             Bmaj D#m
I threw the day old tea 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-       Badd9
Took the “Get well soon” cards and stuffed animals,
           F#           A#madd13-         Badd9 D#m
Poured the old ginger beer down the sink,
           C#                  B                 F#
Dad always told me: “Don’t you cry when you’re down,”
                   B            C#               F#
But mum, there’s a tear every time that I blink.

 G#m          B             F#        C#          G#m
   Oh, I’m in pieces, it’s tearing me up but I know,
                  B           F#                      C#
   A heart that’s broke is a heart that’s been loved,
   So I’ll sing:

Chorus:
     F#       A#madd13-
     Hallelujah,
   Badd9         C#           F#               A#madd13-
     You were an angel in the shape of my mum.
   Badd9         C#                   D#m
     When I fell down, 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-           Badd9
I fluffed the pillows made the beds, stacked the chairs up,
C#          F#           A#m         Badd9 C# D#m
Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case,
               C#                  B                 F#
John said he’d drive, then put his hand on my cheek,
            B              C#        F#
And wiped a tear from the side of my face.

 G#m               B          F#             C#              G#m
   And I hope that I see the world as you did, ‘cause I know
               B           F#               C#
   A life with love is a life that’s been lived,
   So I’ll sing:

Chorus:
     F#       A#madd13-
     Hallelujah,
   Badd9         C#           F#               A#madd13-
     You were an angel in the shape of my mum.
   Badd9         C#                   D#m
     When I fell down, 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- | Bmaj9 | Bmaj9  } 3 times
              D#m7 | C#7add11 | Bmaj9 | Bmaj9

     F#       A#m
     Hallelujah,
   Badd9                      F#               A#m
     You were an angel 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.”
