Intro
[C] [Em7] [Em] [F]
Verse 1
[C]
The kettle’s gone quiet now,
[Em]
The cups all lined up by the sink,
[F]
No voices drifting through the kitchen,
[C]
No one stopping by to think.
[G] [C]
And I still see your seat by the window,
[Em]
Tea with no sugar in your cup,
[Em7] [F]
You said I’m sweet enough already,
[G] [C]
And laughed as you stirred it up.
Chorus
[F] [C] [G] [C]
Everybody called you Mum,
[Em7]
A welcome waiting for anyone who’d come,
[F]
You turned a house into a heartbeat,
[F] [C]
You opened your heart like the morning sun,
[G] [C]
You never counted what you gave away,
[Em]
You just gave until it hurt,
[F]
You made a home where everyone belonged,
[G] [C]
Your love is still at work.
Verse 2
[C]
You liked your ABBA playing loud,
[Em]
A chat that lasted half the night,
[F]
EastEnders on the TV,
[C]
Friends dropping in just to reunite.
[F] [C]
You saw the world through cruise ship windows,
N.C.
Made friends on every ship,
[Em7]
But somehow every road led home,
N.C.
At the end of every trip.
Chorus
[C]
Everybody called you Mum,
[Em]
A welcome waiting for anyone who’d come,
[Em7] [F]
You turned a house into a heartbeat,
[C]
You opened your heart like the morning sun,
[C]
You never counted what you gave away,
[Em]
You just gave until it hurt,
[F]
You made a home where everyone belonged,
[G] [C]
Your love is still at work.
Bridge
[Am] [Em7]
And somewhere Dad is waiting,
[F] [C]
With that twinkle in his eye,
[Am] [Em]
The boy you fell in love with,
[F] [G]
Back when you were sixteen, full of life.
[C]
Twenty-one years apart,
[Em]
Now there’s nothing left to miss,
[F]
Maybe Heaven looks a little bit
[G] [C]
Like your first dance and your first kiss.
[C]
I tried to call you just this morning,
[Em]
Then I realised you're not there,
[F]
My eyes welled up with tears,
[G] [G]
Then I felt you in the air.
[Final Chorus]
[C]
Everybody called you Mum,
[Em] [Em7]
A welcome waiting for anyone who’d come,
[Em] [F] [G]
The love you gave still carries on,
[G] [C]
a little piece in everyone.
[G] [C]
The house is quiet, but not empty,
[Em]
You never really left it behind,
[F]
Because love like yours doesn’t end,
[G] [C]
It will live forever in my mind.
Outro
[C] [F]
Tea with no sugar,
[F] [G]
ABBA softly playing,
[G] [F]
A house full of people calling your name-
[G] [C]
Every morning brings a…. little Dawn.
[F] [C] [F] [C]
