The song "You Raise Me Up" has an interesting backstory - it was originally released by British band Secret Garden in 2002, and didn't make an impact at all. A year later in 2003, Josh Groban covered it which became hugely popular in the US. It wasn't until a few years later when Westlife covered it, that it took off in the UK, having travelled round the world :)
The letter notes below are the basic melody which most versions share and therefore most people should know. I hope you enjoy practising :)
.Bb .Bb D# G
When I am down
D# F D# D# C .Bb-D#
And all my soul so weary
D D#-G Bb
When troubles come
D# ^C Bb Bb - G F
And my heart burdened be
Bb Bb ^D ^D#
Then, I am still
^D ^D ^C Bb G# Bb-G
And wait here in the silence
D#-Bb G# G
Until you come
G G F-D# D D#
And sit awhile with me
Bb ^C ^D ^D#
You raise me up
^D ^D ^C Bb G# Bb - G
So I can stand on mountains
Bb ^F ^D# ^D#
You raise me up
^D ^D ^C Bb-G# Bb
To walk on stormy seas
Bb ^D ^D#
I am strong
^D ^D ^C Bb G# Bb-^D#
When I am on your shoulders
D# Bb G# G
You raise me up
G G F D# D D#
To more than I can be
