I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill

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
CEmF
Poured the old ginger beer down the sink

Dad always told me don’t you cry when you’re down
FGC
But mum there’s a tear every time that I blink
Pre-Chorus 1DmFCG
Oh I’m in pieces, it’s tearing me up but I know
DmFCGA heart that’s broke is a heart that’s been loved
Chorus 1CEmF
So I’ll sing Hallelujah
GCEmF
You were an angel in the shape of my mum

When I fell down you’d be there
AmFCG
Holding me up, spread your wings as you go
AmFCG
And when God takes you back, he’ll say Hallelujah, you’re home

I fluffed the pillows, made the beds, stacked the chairs up
CEmF
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
