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
