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.”

     Hallelujah,

     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.”
