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 



[Refrão]
                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 



[Refrão]
                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
