[intro] x2
Gb  Bbm  B

[verse 1]
            Gb             Bbm
I took the supermarket flowers
                 B
from the windowsill
            Gb         Bbm             B
I threw the day old tea from the cup
Ebm
   Packed up the
  Db          B       Abm7      Gb
photo album Matthew had made
    B           Db                    Gb
Memories of a life that’s been loved
            Gb
Took the get well soon
   Bbm              B
cards and stuffed animals
           Gb
Poured the old ginger
   Bbm               B
beer down the sink
Ebm            Db                 B
   Dad always told me don’t you cry
       Abm7         Gb
when you’re down
                  B
But mum there’s a tear every
Db                 Gb
time that I blink

[pre-chorus 1]
Abm            B
   Oh I’m in pieces,
         Gb         Db
it’s tearing me up but I know
Abm                B
   a heart that’s broke is a
   Gb                     Db
heart that’s been loved

[chorus 1]
             Gb          Bbm   B
So I’ll sing Hallelujah
            Db
You were an angel in the
 Gb               Bbm   B
shape of my mum
            Db
When I fell down you’d be there
Ebm            B
Holding me up, spread your
   Gb            Db
wings as you go
          Ebm
And when God takes you back,
B           Gb         Db
he’ll say Hallelujah, you’re home

                 Gb               Bbm
I fluffed the pillows, made the beds,
                    B
stacked the chairs up
            Gb            Bbm           B
Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case
Db Ebm                Db
     John said he’d drive then
           B                Gb
put his hand on my cheek
            B              Db          Gb
And wiped a tear from the side of my face

[pre-chorus 2]
Abm                 B
   And I hope that I see the
  Gb              Db
world as you did cause I know
Abm             B
   a life with love is a
   Gb                    Db
life that’s been lived

[chorus 2]
             Gb          Bbm   B
So I’ll sing Hallelujah
            Db
You were an angel in the
 Gb               Bbm   B
shape of my mum
            Db
When I fell down you’d be there
Ebm            B
Holding me up, spread your
   Gb            Db
wings as you go
          Ebm
And when God takes you back,
B           Gb         Db
he’ll say Hallelujah, you’re home

Hallelujah
You were an angel in the
Gb               Bbm   Badd9
shape of my mum

You got to see the person I have become,

spread your wings and I know that when

God took you back, he said Hallelujah,
 Db            Gb
