Verse 1
Well,
F
look at ya, kid
You're
Bb2
growing up quick
And I
F
can’t seem to tell you to
Bb2
slow
But there’ll
F
soon come a day
And it
Bb2
scares me to death
When you
Dm
tell me you’re
F/C
ready to
Bb2
go
Csus
Verse 2
And now you’re as
F
quick as a whip
With your
Bb2
hands on your hips
Only
F
eyes that could rival your
Bb2
mum's
And so
F
proudly I’ll watch
You make the
Bb2
world better off
So my
Dm
prayer is wher
F/C
ever you
Bb2
go
Bb2
Chorus 1
May the
Bb2
road rise up to
Bb2
meet you
May the
Dm
wind blow where you
Dm
lead
May the
Bb2
sun shine on your
Bb2
face while
The
F/C
rain falls on your
C
fields
May the
Bb2
world lie down before
Bb2
you
May you
Bb2
be all
Csus
you
Dm7
can be
Dm7
But may
Dm7
all those
F/C
roads you
Bb2
roam

Csus

And

I’ll be at your games
'Cause my
Bb2
folks did the same
And I’ll
F
pour your first glass of Bor
Bb2

ruin your palate for
Bb2
anything else
So in your
Dm
youth you can’t af
F/C
ford to get
Bb2
drunk
Csus
Verse 4
And oh, there’s
F
lips to be kissed
And there’s
Bb2
ones to missed
And you won’t
F
keep my two cents for

long
So you’ll
F
make your mistakes
Like your
Bb2
ma an' da did
Until
Dm
one day you
F/C
stumble on
Bb2
love
Chorus 2
May the
Bb2
Lord be kind to
Bb2
keep you
May the
Dm
devil fear your
Dm
reach
May your
Bb2
pockets fill with
Bb2
gold and yet
Your
F/C
heart be void of
C
greed
May the
Bb2
darkness bow be
Bb2
fore you
May you
Bb2
find the

light you

Dm7
May
Dm7
all those
F/C
roads you
Bb2
roam

Verse 5
F
Listen up, kid
I
Bb2
love you to bits
And I
F
wish life would learn to be
Bb2
slow
But there’ll
F
soon come a day
And God, I
Bb2
hope I’m well aged
When I
Dm
tell you it’s
F/C
my turn to
Bb2
go
Verse 6
And
F
death’s cruel, I’ll admit
But
Bb2
mourn for me quick
And
F
look after those kids of your
Bb2
own
And just
F
make different mistakes
Than your
Bb2
ma and da made
And make our
Dm
ceiling
F/C
look like your
Bb2
floor
Bb2
Chorus
So may the
Bb2
road rise up to
Bb2
meet you
May your
Dm
laughter fill the
Dm
streets
May you
Bb2
children be as
Bb2
kind to you
As
F/C
you have been to
C
me
When your
Bb2
life’s been lived for
Bb2
all it’s worth
And your
Bb2
grandkids
Csus
let you
Dm7
leave
Dm7
