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

Chorus 1

                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

Vesre2

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

Chorus 2

                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 A  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
