WISH YOU WERE HERE (Kim Richey)
-------------------------------
[Actually in C; capo 5.]
[Each chord is four fast beats.]
[Before the C G/B D/F# G chord sequence, play three single notes: G A B.]

C   G/B   D/F#   G    D/F#    G    D/F#   G
[intro]

          C  G/B  D/F#  G   D/F#           G    D/F#         G
Here is a picture postcard,  stuck in the mirror beside the bed
         C  G/B  D/F#   G  D/F#         G        D/F#       G
With the edges   worn from  all of the times that it's been read

C                 C          Em         Em
  The words have faded, the moment has passed
       C         C          Em       Em     Bb         Bb
But the feeling lingers like fingerprints on the glass
        A             A    A    A [stop]
Down through the years
             n.c.   C  G/B   D/F#  G  D/F#  G  D/F#   G
Wish you were here

          C     G/B  D/F#   G    D/F#          G       D/F#          G
Here is a strip of   pho - tos, taken at the drug store in a dollar booth
           C    G/B  D/F#  G   D/F#             G      D/F#            G
Our two famil - iar  fa - ces, laughing at the camera like we used to do

C                C          Em        Em
  The picture's faded, the moment has passed
       C         C          Em       Em     Bb         Bb
But the feeling lingers like fingerprints on the glass
        A             A    A    A
Down through the years
             C    C  Em  Em   C  C  Em  Em   Bb  Bb   A  A  A [long pause]
Wish you were here  [guitar solo]

          C    G/B  D/F#  G  D/F#                 G           D/F#          G
Here is a four-leaf clover,  pressed between the pages of the diary that I kept
      C    G/B  D/F#  G  D/F#            G            D/F#             G
It reminds me   of   a   certain summer meadow, and a kiss I won't forget

C                 C          Em         Em
  The leaves are faded, the moment has passed
       C         C          Em       Em     Bb         Bb
But the feeling lingers like fingerprints on the glass
        A             A    A    A [stop]
Down through the years
             n.c.   C  G/B   D/F#  G        D/F#   Em  D/F#   G
Wish you were here,                 wish you were here
C  Em/B  D/F#  G    D/F#  Em  D/F#  G
[instrumental]
C  Em/B  D/F#  G    D/F#  Em  D/F#  G
[instrumental]
C  Em/B  D/F#  G    D/F#  Em  D/F#  G-D-G.
[instrumental]
