[Intro]
G G/B Cadd9
G G/B Cadd9

[Verse 1]
G G/B Cadd9
I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill
G G/B Cadd9
I threw the day old tea from the cup
Em D G Cadd9
Packed up the photo albums Matthew had made
Cadd9 D G
Memories of a life that’s been loved

G G/B Cadd9
I took the get well soon cards and stuffed animals
G G/B Cadd9
I poured the old ginger beer down the sink
Em D G Cadd9
Dad always told me don’t you cry when you’re down
Cadd9 D G
But mum there’s a tear every time that I blink

[PreChorus 1]
Am7 C G D
Oh I’m in pieces it’s tearing me up but I know
Am7 C G D
A heart that’s broke is a heart that’s been loved

[Chorus 1]
G G/B Cadd9
So I’ll sing Hallelujah
D G G/B Cadd9
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
D
When I fell down you’d be there
Em C G D
Holding me up, spread your wings as you go
Em C G D
And when God takes you back, he’ll say Hallelujah, you’re home
G G/B Cadd9 D
G G/B Cadd9

[Verse 2]
G G/B Cadd9
I fluffed the pillows, made the beds, stacked the chairs up
G G/B Cadd9
Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case
Em D G Cadd9
John said he’d drive then put his hand on my cheek
Cadd9 D G
And wiped a tear from the side of my face

[PreChorus 2]
Am7 C G D
And I hope that I see the world as you did cause I know
Am7 C G D
A life with love is a life that’s been lived

[Chorus 2]
G G/B Cadd9
So I’ll sing Hallelujah
D G G/B Cadd9
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
D
When I fell down you’d be there
Em C G D
Holding me up, spread your wings as you go
Em C G D
And when God takes you back, he’ll say Hallelujah, you’re home
G G/B Cadd9

[Chorus 3]

G Bm Cmaj7
Hallelujah
G Bm Cmaj7
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
Em C G D
You got to see the person I have become, spread your wings and I know that when
Em C G D G
God took you back, he said Hallelujah, you’re home
