F# A#m B
F# A#m B
[Verse 1]
F# A#m B
I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill
F# A#m B
I threw the day old tea from the cup
D#m C# B F#
Packed up the photo album Matthew had made
B C# F#
Memories of a life that’s been loved
F# A#m B
Took the get well soon cards and stuffed animals
F# A#m B
Poured the old ginger beer down the sink
D#m 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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G#m B F# C#
Oh I’m in pieces it’s tearing me up but I know
G#m B F# C#
A heart that’s broke is a heart that’s been loved
[Chorus 1]
F# A#m B
So I’ll sing Hallelujah
C# F# A#m B
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
C#
When I fell down you’d be there
D#m B F# C#
Holding me up, spread your wings as you go
D#m B F# C#
And when God takes you back, he’ll say Hallelujah, you’re home
F# A#m B C#
F# A#m B
[Verse 2]
F# A#m B
I fluffed the pillows, made the beds, stacked the chairs up
F# A#m B
Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case
C# D#m 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
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G#m B F# C#
And I hope that I see the world as you did cause I know
G#m B F# C#
A life with love is a life that’s been lived
[Chorus 2]
F# A#m B
So I’ll sing Hallelujah
C# F# A#m B
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
C#
When I fell down you’d be there
D#m B F# C#
Holding me up, spread your wings as you go
D#m B F# C#
And when God takes you back, he’ll say Hallelujah, you’re home

Ooh ooh ooh
F# A#m B
Ooh ooh ooh
D#m C# B
Ooh ooh ooh
[Chorus 3]

Hallelujah
F# A#m B
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
D#m B F# C#
You got to see the person I have become, spread your wings and I know that when
D#m B F# C# F#
God took you back, he said Hallelujah, you’re home
