Verse:
F F/E
Dear friend of my mine
Dm C
The Weather's fine
Bb F Dm C
Today I saw some ruins of the Roman world's decline
Am Bb
And I climbed all those Spanish steps
F C Dm
You've heard of them no doubt
Gm
But Rome has lost its glory,
Bb C
I don't know what its about

Chorus:
F
I wish you were here
F Em Dm C Bb
When the shadows fall and all the rushing traffic's still
F
I wish you were here
F Dm
When the bells are ringing on the seven hills
Gm C
I make my way to a small cafe, I wonder what you did today
F C F Bb C
Wish you were here

Verse:
F F/E
Dear one at home
Dm C
I just flew in from Rome
Bb F Dm C
Paris is a postcard all decked out in colour chrome
Am Bb
And so I climbed the Eiffel Tower
F C Dm
And prayed at Notre Dame
Gm
But I just can't find the romance
Bb C
And I wonder why I came

Chorus:
F
Wish you were here
F Em Dm C Bb
On the Champs Elysees lovers walk hand in hand
F
Wish you were here
Dm
They take one look at me and seem to understand
Gm C Bb
This city of light is a lovely site, the first bright star I see tonight
D
Wish you were here

Bridge:
G
Now I write this from the plane
F
Drinking cheap champagne
Bb Eb
And wondering why two people got so far apart

Chorus:
G
Wish you were here
G F#m Em D C
Here in London where the rain is pouring down
G
Wish you were here
Em
On this airplane headed back to New York Town
Am D C
I'll never leave you alone again. I'm coming home but until then
G D C
Wish you were here
G D C
I wish you were here
G G F#m Em D C
Wish you were here
