Verse:

 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 

                  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 
 
                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 

                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
