May The Road Rise To Meet You

C  G  D  G

Summertime the sun would shine
     C                G
We’d lay out in the field
C                 G           D
Sheltered in the shadow of a tree
     G
We’d write our songs to take along
     C               G
And sing out on the road
     C                G                D
And you would always sing this song to me

        C            D
May the road rise to meet you
        G       G/F#    Em
May the wind be at your back
        C              D               G  C  G
May the sun shine down warm upon your land
        C               D               G            C
May the rain fall soft upon your face until we meet again
        Am              D              C
May god hold you in the hollow of his hand

Autumn leaves would leave the tree
   C                 G
In colours on the ground
C                  G            D
Swirling patterns, beautiful to see
    G
I’d lay my head down on your lap
   C                G
I would not make a sound
     C                G                D
And you would always sing this song to me

        C            D
May the road rise to meet you
        G       G/F#    Em
May the wind be at your back
        C              D               G  C  G
May the sun shine down warm upon your land
        C               D               G            C
May the rain fall soft upon your face until we meet again
        Am              D           C
May god hold you in the hollow of his hand

The winter days the tree
      C             G
Would shiver in the wind
C               G                D
Waiting for the warming touch of spring
      G
You’d hold me in the firelight
     C              G
We’d stare into the flames
    C                G              D
And this is what you always used to sing

        C            D
May the road rise to meet you
        G       G/F#    Em
May the wind be at your back
        C              D              G    C  G
May the sun shine down warm upon your land
        C               D               G            C
May the rain fall soft upon your face until we meet again
        Am              D              Em C
May god hold you in the hollow of his hand
        Am              D              Em
May god hold you in the hollow of his hand
