Intro: F Bb D# Bb
verse 1
F
Dear friend of my mine
Bb
The Weather's fine
F
Today, I saw some ruins
Bb
Of the Roman world's decline
F
And I climbed all those Spanish stairs
Bb
You've heard of them no doubt
C
But Rome has lost its glory
Gm Am Bb D#
I don't know what it's about
F
I wish you were here
When the shadows fall
Bb
And the rushing traffic's still
F
I wish you were here
and the bells are ringing
Bb
On the seven hills
F C
I make my way to a small cafe
Gm Am Bb D#
I wonder what you did today
F
I Wish you were here
Verse 2
F
Dear one at home
Bb
I just flew in from Rome
F
And Paris is a postcard
Bb
All decked out in Kodachrome
F
And so, I climbed the Eiffel Tower
Bb
And I prayed at Notre Dame
C
But I just can't find the romance
Gm Am Bb D#
And I wonder why I came
F
I wish you were here
On the Champs-Elysees
Bb
Lovers walk hand in hand
F
I wish you were here
They take one look at me
Bb
And they seem to understand
F C
This city of light is a lovely site
Gm Am Bb D#
The first bright star I see tonight
F
Wish you were here
Bridge
Am F Am
Now, I write this on the plane
F Gm
and I'm drinking cheap champagne
And wondering how
Bb C
Two people got so far apart
(no chord) F
I wish you were here
Outro:
Here in London
Bb
Where the rain the pouring down
F
I wish you were here
On this airplane
Bb
Headed back to LA Town
F C
I'll never leave you alone again
Gm Am Bb D#
I'm coming home but until then
Bb F
I Wish you were here
Bb
I wish you were here
F
I Wish you were here
Bb
I wish you were here
F
I wish you were here
Bb
I wish you were here
F
I wish you were here
