May The Road Rise

	  		
   C           D                G                  Em 
Summertime the sun would shine we'd lay across the field 
  C                           D 
Sheltered in the shadow of a tree 
   C           D                G                  Em 
We'd write our poems to take along And sing out on the road 
  C                                    D 
And you would always sing this song to me 
          C           D 
May the road rise to meet you 
          G               Em 
May the wind be at your back 
        C          D               G 
May the sun shine warm upon your land 
          C               D 
May the rain fall soft upon your face 
    G          Em 
Until we meet again 
    C                   D            G 
May God hold you in the palm of his hand 

   C           D                G                  Em 
Autumn leaves that change our tree To colours on the ground 
  C                           D 
Swirling patterns beautiful to see 
   C           D                G                  Em 
I'd lay my head down on your lap I wouldn't make a sound 
  C                                    D 
And you would always sing this song to me  
          C           D 
May the road rise to meet you 
          G               Em 
May the wind be at your back 
        C          D               G 
May the sun shine warm upon your land 
          C               D 
May the rain fall soft upon your face 
    G          Em 
Until we meet again 
    C                   D            G 
May God hold you in the palm of his hand 

   C           D                G                  Em 
Through the winter days our tree would shiver in the wind 
  C                                    D 
Waiting for the warming touch of spring 
   C           D                G                  Em 
I'd hold you in the firelight We'd stare into the flames 
  C                                    D 
And this is what you always used to sing 
          C           D 
May the road rise to meet you 
          G               Em 
May the wind be at your back 
        C          D               G 
May the sun shine warm upon your land 
          C               D 
May the rain fall soft upon your face 
    G          Em 
Until we meet again 
    C                   D            G 
And may God hold you in the palm of his hand 
  C                                    D 
And may the rain fall soft upon your face 
    G          Em 
Until we meet again 
    C                   D            G 
And may God hold you in the palm of his hand
