C  G  D  G 

Verse 

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 poems to take along 
    C               G 
And sing out on the road 
    C                G                 D 
And you would always sing this song to me 

Chorus 
        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 palm of his hand 



Instrumental

Verse 

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 

Chorus 
        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 palm of his hand 

Verse 
    G 
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 

Chorus 
        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 palm of his hand 
        Am              D           C 
May god hold you in the palm of his hand
