[F]
[Bb] [F] [Am] [Bb]
[F] Dear friend of mine, [Dm]
the weather's [C] fine.
[Bb] Today I saw some [F] ruins [C] of [Dm] the Roman world [C] decline.
[Am] And I climbed all those [Bb] Spanish steps, [F] heard of them [Dm] no doubt.
[C] [Gm] But Rome has lost its glory, [C] I don't know what it's about.
[Bb] [C] I wish you [F] were here, when the shadows [C] fall, and [Dm] all the world will [C] change, and our [Bb] faiths build.
[Gm] I wish you [F] were here, when the bells are [Dm] ringing on the seven hills.
[Gm] I make my way too small to fail, [Bb] I wonder what you did today.
[F] I wish you were here.
[Gm] [F] Dear one at home, [Dm] I just flew in from [C] Rome.
[F] [Bb] Paris is [F] a [C] postcard [Dm] all decked out, color [C] prone.
[Am] So I climbed [Bb] the Eiffel Tower, [F] and prayed a note to [Dm] God.
[C] [Gm] But I just can't find the [Bb] romance, [F] and I wonder why [Bb] I came.
[D] I wish you [F] were here, on the Champs [Em]-Élysées, [Dm] lovers [C] walking [Bb] hand in [Gm] hand.
I wish you [F] were here, as [Bb] Edouard [F] Mouffetier [Dm] seemed to understand.
[Gm] This city of light is a lovely sight, the first bright star I see tonight.
Wish you [D] were here.
Now [G] I write this from the plane, [Em]
drinking cheap [Dm] champagne.
[F] [Bb] And wondering why two people got [F] so [Eb] far apart.
I [D] [G] wish you were here.
[D] [D] [C] I [D] wish you were [G] here, on the seven-lane [Bm] road back to your [Em] town.
I'll [Am] never [Em] leave you [C] alone again, [D] I'm coming home, but [C] until then.
Wish [G] you were here.
[Bm]
[D] I [C] wish you were [Em] [Bm] here.
[C] [G] Wish you were here.
[D] [Em] I wish you were here.
Wish you were here.
[D] [C] [N]
