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

D
We were down on Beale Street, Memphis Tennessee
D
With the blues, the booze and barbeques and our name on the marquee
        Em                                     D
And you should have seen, the crowd we drew in there
       Em           G               D
What I really mean, I wish you were here


[Bridge]

    Em                           G
I’m sending you this postcard to tell you that I’m fine
   Em                           G              A  
To let you know where I go, you never leave my mind


D
We broke down in Kentucky, in Richmond there was snow
D
Saw our friends in Charlotte, we played on the radio
        Em                                 D
And you should have seen us singin’ on the air
       Em           G               D
What I really mean, I wish you were here

    Em                           G
I’m sending you this postcard to tell you that I’m fine
   Em                           G              A  
To let you know where I go, you never leave my mind

D
Tonight we’re in the city, it’s like Disneyland
D
But I’m sick and tired and I can’t wait to get back home again
      Em                                D
And I had this dream, you'll be waitin’ there
       Em           G               D
What I really mean, I wish you were here
       Em           G               D
What I really mean, I wish you were here
