verse 1 
            C             Em                  F 
I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill 
            C         Em             F 
I threw the day old tea from the cup 
Am                G          F       Dm7      C 
   Packed up the photo album Matthew had made 
    F           G                    C 
Memories of a life that’s been loved 

            C            Em              F 
Took the get well soon cards and stuffed animals 
           C            Em               F 
Poured the old ginger beer down the sink 
Am            G                 F        Dm7         C 
   Dad always told me don’t you cry when you’re down 
                  F          G                 C 
But mum there’s a tear every time that I blink 


Pre-Chorus 1 
Dm            F             C         G 
   Oh I’m in pieces it’s tearing me up but I know 
Dm                F            C                     G 
   A heart that’s broke is a heart that’s been loved 

             C          Em   F 
So I’ll sing Hallelujah  
            G            C               Em   F 
You were an angel in the shape of my mum 
            G 
When I fell down you’d be there 
Am            F              C            G 
Holding me up, spread your wings as you go  
          Am                F            C         G            
And when God takes you back, you’ll say Hallelujah, you’re home

verse 2 
                 C               Em                     F 
I fluffed the pillows, made the beds, stacked the chairs up 
            C            Em             F 
Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case 
G Am                G                  F                C 
     John said he’d drive then put his hand on my cheek 
            F              G          C 
And wiped a tear from the side of my face 


Pre-Chorus 2 
Dm                 F          C              G 
   And I hope that I see the world as you did cause I know 
Dm             F           C                    G 
   A life with love is a life that’s been lived 

             C          Em   F 
So I’ll sing Hallelujah  
            G            C               Em   F 
You were an angel in the shape of my mum 
            G 
When I fell down you’d be there 
Am            F              C            G 
Holding me up, spread your wings as you go  
          Am                F            C         G            
And when God takes you back, you’ll say Hallelujah, you’re home

You got to see the person I have become, spread your wings and I know that when 
 Am               F             C         G            C 
God took you back, he said say Hallelujah, you’re home
