These guys are from Scotland.  They are the only Christian Celtic Rock band I've heard and they are REALLY good!  Check 'em out!

This is a beautiful slow song that sounds great on an acoustic.

 [chorus]

         G            Bm         Em
May your life in this world be a happy one
        C               Am               D
May the sun be warm and may the skies be blue
         G                    Bm
May each storm that comes you way,
          Em                 C
clear the air for a brighter day
        Am                 D                G    D
May the saints and saviour watch over you.

 [verse 1]

       G             Bm               Em
As you make your way through this old world of ours
       C              Am             D
As you see the beauty of the morning dew
       G                Bm
As you smell the summer flowers
       Em            C
As you pass away the hours
        Am                 D                G    D
May the saints and saviour watch over you.

 [chorus]

 [verse 2]

       G               Bm                         Em
As you spend your time with your friends and your family
       C                  Am                 D
As you see the warmth and love they have for you
       G                Bm
As you see the wars and hate
     Em         C
That others radiate
        Am                 D                G    D
May the saints and saviour watch over you

 [chorus 2x]
