F# A#m I took the supermarket flowers B From the windowsill, F# A#m I threw the day old tea B D#m From the cup, C# B F# Packed up the photo album Matthew had made, B C#7 F# Memories of a life that’s been loved. F# A#m Took the “Get well soon” cards B And stuffed animals, F# A#m Poured the old ginger beer B D#m Down the sink, C# Dad always told me: B F# “Don’t you cry when you’re down,” B But mum, there’s a tear C# F# Every time that I blink. G#m B Oh, I’m in pieces, F# C# G#m It’s tearing me up but I know, B A heart that’s broke F# C# Is a heart that’s been loved, So I’ll sing: Chorus: F# A#m Hallelujah, B C# You were an angel F# A#m In the shape of my mum. B C# When I fell down, D#m You’d be there holding me up, B F# C# Spread your wings as you go D#m B And when God takes you back, F# C# He’ll say: “Hallelujah, you’re home.” C# F# A#m I fluffed the pillows made the beds, B Stacked the chairs up, C# F# Folded your nightgowns A#m B C# D#m Neatly in a case, C# John said he’d drive, B F# Then put his hand on my cheek, B C# F# And wiped a tear from the side of my face. G#m B And I hope that I see F# C# G#m The world as you did, ‘cause I know B A life with love F# C# Is a life that’s been lived, So I’ll sing: Chorus Hallelujah, You were an angel In the 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, you’re home.” You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA A#m C# C#7 D#m F# G#m B Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
