Intro: E G#m | Amaj | E G#m | A

           E              G#m
I took the supermarket flowers
               Amaj
From the windowsill,
            E         G#m
I threw the day old tea
              Amaj C#m
From the cup,
                B         A             E
Packed up the photo album Matthew had made,
    A           B7                    E
Memories of a life that’s been loved.

             E             G#madd13-
Took the “Get well soon” cards
            Aadd9
And stuffed animals,
           E            G#madd13-
Poured the old ginger beer
               Aadd9 C#m
Down the sink,
           B
Dad always told me:
           A                 E
“Don’t you cry when you’re down,”
                   A
But mum, there’s a tear
        B                E
Every time that I blink.

 F#m          A
   Oh, I’m in pieces,
         E         B           F#m
   It’s tearing me up but I know,
                  A
   A heart that’s broke
         E                       B
   Is a heart that’s been loved,
   So I’ll sing:

Chorus:
     E        G#madd13-
     Hallelujah,
   Aadd9         B
     You were an angel
            E                G#madd13-
     In the shape of my mum.
   Aadd9         B
     When I fell down,
                    C#m
     You’d be there holding me up,
   Amaj           E           Bsus4
     Spread your wings as you go
               C#m           A
     And when God takes you back,
                  E       B
     He’ll say: “Hallelujah, you’re home.”

Instrumental: E G#m | Aadd9 Aadd9 Aadd9 B
              E Eadd9 G#m G#madd13-
              Aadd9 Aadd9 Aadd9 B

  B              E             G#madd13-
I fluffed the pillows made the beds,
              Aadd9
Stacked the chairs up,
B           E
Folded your nightgowns
  G#m         Aadd9 B  C#m
Neatly in a case,
               B
John said he’d drive,
             A                 E
Then put his hand on my cheek,
            A              B         E
And wiped a tear from the side of my face.

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

Chorus:
     E        G#madd13-
     Hallelujah,
   Aadd9         B
     You were an angel
            E                G#madd13-
     In the shape of my mum.
   Aadd9         B
     When I fell down,
                    C#m
     You’d be there holding me up,
   Amaj           E           Bsus4
     Spread your wings as you go
               C#m           A
     And when God takes you back,
                  E       B7
     He’ll say: “Hallelujah, you’re home.”

     E        G#m
     Hallelujah,
   Aadd9
     You were an angel
            E                G#m
     In the shape of my mum.
   Aadd9                       C#m
     You got to see the person I have become,
   A              E            Bsus4
     Spread your wings and I know
                C#m          A
     That when God took you back,
                E       Bsus4            E
     He said: “Hallelujah, you’re home.”
