Wish you were here (video)

D - D7 - G

G Gm

1. They're not making the skies as blue this year, wish you were here,

G Am Gm

as blue as they used to when you were near, wish you were here.

Am D7

And the mornings don't seem as new, brand-new as they did with you.

Am D G

Wish you were here, wish you were here, wish you were here !

G Gm

2. Someone's painting the leaves all wrong this year, wish you were here.

G C

And why did the birds change their song this year ? Wish you were here.

Cm

They're not shining the stars as bright,

E

they've stolen the joy from the night.

Am D G

Wish you were here, wish you were here, wish you were here !
