Supermarket Flowers

[Intro] D  G/F#  G

    D                 G/F#                 G
I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill
            D       G/F#          G
I threw the day old tea from the cup
   Bm        A      G                D
Packed up the photo album Matthew had made
       G            A          D
Memories of a life that's been loved

    D                 G/F#                 G
Took the Get Well Soon cards and stuffed animals
            D       G/F#          G
Poured the old ginger beer down the sink
   Bm        A      G                D
Dad always told me: Don't you cry when you're down
       G            A          D
But mum, there's a tear every time that I blink

     B         G              D            A
Oh, I'm in pieces, it's tearing me up, but I know
     B           G            D            A
A heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved

  D             D/F#             G
So I'll sing hallelujah
         A               D             D/F#
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
  G         A                       Bm       G
When I fell down you'd be there holding me up
       D                A
Spread your wings as you go
     Bm                G                D              A
And when God takes you back He'll say: Hallelujah, you're home

    D                 G/F#                 G
I fluffed the pillows, made the beds, stacked the chairs up

    D                 G/F#                 G
Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case
   Bm        A      G                D
John says he'd drive then put his hand on my cheek
  G            A          D
And wiped a tear from the side of my face

     B         G              D            A
I hope that I see the world as you did, 'cause I know
     B         G              D            A
A life with love is a life that's been lived

  D             D/F#             G
So I'll sing hallelujah
         A               D             D/F#
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
  G         A                       Bm       G
When I fell down you'd be there holding me up
       D                A
Spread your wings as you go
     Bm                G                D              A
And when God takes you back He'll say: Hallelujah, you're home

 D             D/F#             G
Hallelujah
         A               D             D/F#
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
  G         A                       Bm       G
You got to see the person I have become
       D                A
Spread your wings as you go
     Bm                G                D              A
And when God takes you back He'll say: Hallelujah, you're home
