A
Play when pipes start - D A D A
[Verse 1]
A
Like the waves of the ocean
D A
Crashing on the cliffs of Moher
A D
The western winds are blowin'
A E
All along the Galway shore
D
From the high walls of Derry
A F#m
To the rolling hills of Kerry
A
All across this Irish homeland
E A
There's a welcome at the door
[Chorus]
D
May the road rise to meet you
A
A smile always greet you
F#m E
May our friendship be always true and strong
A
And as the sun sets in the west
D
I wish you all the best
A E A
Please, God, we'll meet again before too long
[Verse 2]
A
Oh the troubles of our world
D A
We leave them at the door
A D
We raise a glass to friends who've passed
A E
Remembering them once more
D
May the luck of the Irish
A F#m
Be with you every day
A
Who knows what tomorrow brings
E A
Let's live for today
[Chorus]
D
May the road rise to meet you
A
A smile always greet you
F#m E
May our friendship be always true and strong
A
And as the sun sets in the west
D
I wish you all the best
A E A
Please, God, we'll meet again before too long
