Supermarket Flowers

[Intro] D  G/F#  G

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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