           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.”
