Capo 6th fret
[Intro]
C Em F
C Em F
[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
[PreChorus 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
[Chorus 1]
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, he’ll say Hallelujah, you’re home
C Em F G
C Em F
[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
[PreChorus 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
[Chorus 2]
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, he’ll say Hallelujah, you’re home
[Bridge]
C Em F
Ooh ooh ooh
C Em F
Ooh ooh ooh
C Em F
Ooh ooh ooh
Am G F
Ooh ooh ooh
[Chorus 3]
C Em Fadd9
Hallelujah
C Em Fadd9
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
Am F C G
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 Hallelujah, you’re home
I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill
I threw the day-old tea from the cup
Packed up the photo album Matthew had made
Memories of a life that's been loved
Took the "Get Well Soon" cards and stuffed animals
Poured the old ginger beer down the sink
Dad always told me, "Don't you cry when you're down"
But, mom, there's a tear every time that I blink
Oh, I'm in pieces. It's tearing me up but I know
A heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved
So, I'll sing Hallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
When I fell down you'd be there holding me up
Spread your wings as you go
And when God takes you back
He'll say, "Hallelujah, you're home"
I fluffed the pillows, made the beds, stacked the chairs up
Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case
John said he'd drive, then put his hand on my cheek
And wiped a tear from the side of my face
And I hope that I see the world as you did 'cause I know
A life with love is a life that's been lived
So, I'll sing Hallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
When I fell down you'd be there holding me up
Spread your wings as you go, when God takes you back
He'll say, "Hallelujah, you're home"
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"
