Postcards From Paris Chords

(ver. 1)
John Denver
Intro:
F   C   F   Bb C
F   C   F   Bb C

Verse:
F                         F/E
 Dear friend of my mine
Dm                 C
 The Weather's fine
    Bb             F            Dm               C
 Today I saw some ruins of the Roman world's decline
     Am                    Bb
 And I climbed all those Spanish steps
         F         C      Dm
 You've heard of them no doubt
      Gm
 But Rome has lost its glory,
           Bb            C
 I don't know what its about

Chorus:
                  F
 I wish you were here
                   F       Em       Dm       C         Bb
 When the shadows fall and all the rushing traffic's still
                  F
 I wish you were here
           F                Dm
 When the bells are ringing on the seven hills
    Gm                             C
 I make my way to a small cafe, I wonder what you did today
                F   C   F   Bb C
 Wish you were here

Verse:
F                   F/E
 Dear one at home
    Dm                C
 I just flew in from Rome
  Bb         F                  Dm               C
 Paris is a postcard all decked out in colour chrome
      Am              Bb
 And so I climbed the Eiffel Tower
       F        C     Dm
 And prayed at Notre Dame
        Gm
 But I just can't find the romance
        Bb           C
 And I wonder why I came

Chorus:
                F
 Wish you were here
                 F      Em     Dm   C       Bb
 On the Champs Elysees lovers walk hand in hand
                F
 Wish you were here
                               Dm
 They take one look at me and seem to understand
       Gm                                  C                   Bb
 This city of light is a lovely site, the first bright star I see tonight
                D
 Wish you were here

Bridge:
         G
 Now I write this from the plane
   F
 Drinking cheap champagne
      Bb                              Eb
 And wondering why two people got so far apart

Chorus:
                G
 Wish you were here
          G       F#m      Em      D       C
 Here in London where the rain is pouring down
                G
 Wish you were here
                          Em
 On this airplane headed back to New York Town
       Am                               D                      C
 I'll never leave you alone again. I'm coming home but until then
                G  D  C
 Wish you were here
                  G  D  C
 I wish you were here
                G    G F#m Em D C
 Wish you were here
