Chords for Maura O'Connell - The Blessing (Live)

I'd like to sing you a song you may not have heard.
It's a song I recorded a couple of years ago on a record called Walls and Windows.
It was written by a friend of mine called Joan L.
Mather,
who came to visit in Ireland with me a long time ago.
She wrote this song based on the Irish blessing,
you know, may the wind be at your back [F] and the devil in heaven and all that stuff.
[C#] But she really kind of brought it back to brass tacks.
It's everything you ever needed to be.
You can sing it at weddings, wakes and funerals.
And it is just a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful song.
If you need solace when you're sad or a way to keep you up when you're happy,
this would be the song, and it's called The Blessing.
