May The Road Rise (CHORDS) by Roger McGuinn

   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 ..
