Glen Travis Campbell

written by Jimmy Webb

album See You There

F Bb D# Bb

Intro

Verse 1

Dear friend of my mine

The Weather's fine

Today, I saw some ruins

Of the Roman world's decline

And I climbed all those Spanish stairs

You've heard of them no doubt

But Rome has lost its glory

Gm Am Bb D#

I don't know what it's about

Chorus 1

I wish you were here

When the shadows fall

And the rushing traffic's still

I wish you were here

and the bells are ringing

On the seven hills

F C

I make my way to a small cafe

Gm Am Bb D#

I wonder what you did today

I Wish you were here

Vesre2

Dear one at home

I just flew in from Rome

And Paris is a postcard

All decked out in Kodachrome

And so, I climbed the Eiffel Tower

And I prayed at Notre Dame

But I just can't find the romance

Gm Am Bb D#

And I wonder why I came

Chorus 2

I wish you were here

On the Champs-Elysees

Lovers walk hand in hand

I wish you were here

They take one look at me

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

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

Where the rain the pouring down

I wish you were here

On this airplane

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

I wish you were here

I Wish you were here

I wish you were here
