Wish You Were Here

Words & Music by Harold Rome
Recorded by Eddie Fisher, 1952 (#1


A7          D           DM7      D6  Dm+7  Dm6
They're not making the skies as blue this year --

Bm7-5          Dm6
Wish you were here.

A7  D           DM7     Dalt DM7       G6
As blue as they used to when you were near --

G/B Cdim       G6
Wish you were here.

         A7            Em7      A7
And the mornings don't seem as new,

     A7+5         Dm6      A7+5
Brand new as they did with you;

A7   Em7 Em6   Em7  A7   Em7 Em6   A7   Edim A7  Em7   D
Wish you were here, wish you were here, wish you were here.


A7          D           DM7        D6  Dm+7  Dm6
Someone's painting the leaves all wrong this year -- 

Bm7-5          Dm6
Wish you were here.

A7  D           DM7                Dalt DM7   G6
And why did the birds change their song this year -- 

G/B Cdim       G6
Wish you were here.

             G          G/F#      Fdim(III)
They're not shining the stars as bright,

        D         F#m            B7
They've stolen the joy from the night;

A7   Em7 Em6   Em7  A7   Em7 Em6   A7   Edim A7  Em7   D
Wish you were here, wish you were here, wish you were here.
