[Verse 1]

D                      G2
Look at ya kid, you’re growing up 
quick
      D                         G2
And I can’t seem to tell you to slow
             D                     
But there’ll soon come a day, and 
  G2
it scares me to death
         Bm             D/A      G2
When you tell me you’re ready to go

[Verse 2]

          D                        
You’re as quick as a whip, with 
  G2
your hands on your hips
      D                        
Only eyes that could rival your 
 G2
mum’s
       D                           
And so proudly I’ll watch, you make
     G2
 the world better off
      Bm            D/A      G2   
N.C.
So my prayer is wherever you go

[Chorus 1]

        G2
May the road rise up to meet you
        Bm
May the wind blow where you lead
        G2                         
May the sun shine on your face 
      Asus               A
while the rain falls on your fields
        G2
May the world lie down before you
        G2     D/A     Bm   Bm
May you be all you can be
        Bm        D/A       G2   
But may all those roads you roam 
     G/E     D
wind home to me

    D
And I’ll be at your games
         G2
Cause my folks did the same
         D2                      
And I’ll pour your first glass of 
    G2
Bordeaux
         D2                  
Watch me ruin your palate for 
   G2
anything else
           Bm              D/A    
So in your youth you can’t afford 
       G2
to get drunk

[Verse 4]

                D
And oh, there’s lips to be kissed
         G2
And there’s ones to be missed
        D                         
And you won’t keep my 2 cents for 
G2
long
          D
So you’ll make your mistakes
          G2
Like your ma an da did
      Bm          D/A        G2
Until one day you stumble on love

[Chorus 2]

           G2
So may the Lord be kind to keep you
            Bm
And may the devil fear your reach
         G2                        
May your pockets fill with gold and
          Asus             A
 yet your heart be void of greed
        G2
May the darkness bow before you
        G2       D/A       Bm   Bm
May you find the light you seek
        Bm        D/A       G2   
But may all those roads you roam 
     G/E
wind home to me

[Verse 5]

     D          G2
Listen up kid I love you to bits
      D                           
And I wish life would learn to be 
G2
slow
             D
But there’ll soon come a day
         G2
And God I hope I’m well aged
       Bm            D/A        G2
When I tell you it’s my turn to go

[Verse 6]

     D                            
And death’s cruel I’ll admit, but 
G2
mourn for me quick
         D                        
And look after those kids of your 
G2
own
              D                  
And just make different mistakes, 
           G2
than your ma and da made
          Bm         D/A          
And make our ceiling look like 
  G2
your floor

[Chorus]

           G2                      
So may the road rise up to meet you
          Bm
 may your laughter fill the streets
        G2                         
May you children be as kind to you,
    Asus             A
 as you have been to me
            G2
When you've had this world for all 
it's worth
         G2        D/A     Bm     
And your grandkids let you leave
 Bm     Asus    A

    Bm        D/A       G2        
May all those roads you roam wind 
G/E     D    Dsus  D  G2
home to me
    Bm        D/A       G2        
May all those roads you roam wind 
G/E     D
home to me
