[Verse 1]
         G
Like the waves of the ocean
         C                G
Crashing on the cliffs of Moher
     G                C
The western winds are blowin'
    G                D/F#
All along the Galway shore
         C
From the high walls of Derry
                        Em
To the rolling hills of Kerry
      G
All across this irish homeland
          D              G
There's a welcome at the door


[Chorus]
        C
May the road rise to meet you
  G
A smile always greet you
        Em                            D
May our friendship be always true and strong
           G               G/B
And as the sun sets in the west
  C
I wish you all the best
       G              D               G
Please God we'll meet again before too long


[Verse 2]
       G
Oh the troubles of our world
   C
We leave them at the door
   G                 C
We raise a glass to friends who've passed
G                     D/F#
Remembering them once more
        C
May the luck of the Irish
   G              Em
Be with you every day
     C
Who knows what tomorrow brings
      D        G
Let's live for today


[Chorus]
        C
May the road rise to meet you
  G
A smile always greet you
        Em                            D
May our friendship be always true and strong
           G               G/B
And as the sun sets in the west
  C
I wish you all the best
       G              D               G
Please God we'll meet again before too long


[Chorus]
        C
May the road rise to meet you
  G
A smile always greet you
        Em                            D
May our friendship be always true and strong
           G               G/B
And as the sun sets in the west
  C
I wish you all the best
       G              D               G
Please God we'll meet again before too long


[Chorus]
        C
May the road rise to meet you
  G
A smile always greet you
        Em                            D
May our friendship be always true and strong
           G               G/B
And as the sun sets in the west
  C
I wish you all the best
       G              D               G
Please God we'll meet again before too long
       G              D               G
Please God we'll meet again before too long
