Standard Tuning


D
Drove from Albuquerque to Ft. Smith, Arkansas
D
All the way to New Orleans in time for Mardi Gras
     Em              G                      D
You should have seen... the craziness down there
         Em           G               D
What I really mean... I wish you were here


Played a show on Bourbon Street, Memphis, Tennessee

With the blues, the booze, the bar-B-Q's, our name on the marquee

Yeah you should have seen... the crowd we drew in there

What I really mean... I wish you were here

(Chorus)
      Em
I'm sending you this postcard
   G
To tell you that I'm fine
  Em
No matter where I go
     G               A
You never leave my mind


Well we broke down in Kentucky; in Richmond there was snow

We saw our friends in Charlotte; we played on the radio

And you should have seen... us singin' on the air

What I really mean... I wish you were here


(Instrumental)

Well I'm sending you this postcard

To tell you that I'm fine

And let you know wherever I go

You never leave my mind


Tonight we're in the city,  it's just like Disneyland

But I'm tired and I can't wait to get back home again

Because I had a dream�  That you�d be waitin� there

What I really mean... I wish you were here

What I really mean... I wish you were here
