[Verse 1]
F#
I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill
F#
I threw the day old tea from the cup
F# B F#
Packed up the photo album Matthew had made
B C# F#
Memories of a life that's been loved
F#
Took the get well soon cards and stuffed animals
F#
Poured the old ginger beer down the sink
F# 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]
G#m F# C#
Oh, I'm in pieces, it's tearing me up, but I know
B F#
A heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved
[Chorus]
F# B
So I'll sing Hallelujah
C# F# B
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
C# F#
When I fell down you'd be there holding me up
F#m
Spread your wings as you go
D#m
When God takes you back
B F# B F#
He'll say, "Hallelujah, you're home"
[Verse 2]
C# 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
D#m C# B F#
John says 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]
G#m B F# C#
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]
F# B
So I'll sing Hallelujah
C# F# B
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
C# F#
When I fell down you'd be there holding me up
F#m
Spread your wings as you go
D#m
When God takes you back
B F# B F#
He'll say, "Hallelujah, you're home"
[Interlude]
F# B F# B F# A#m B C# D#m C# B
[Outro]
A#m
Hallelujah
F#
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
B
You got to see the person I have become
F#
Spread your wings and I know
D#m
That when God took you back
F#
He said, "Hallelujah, you're home"
