INTRO: G C D G (3x) Em C G C G
                          C      D                 G
Well, the first breath of autumn blows through the trees

                           Em               Am D
And the nights are getting long and growing colder

        G          C               D                Em
And the maples are turning and the fields have gone brown

        G                 Em                 D   G
And the waves against the shore, make such a sad sound

                          C           D           G
Now there's a meal on the table and a fire in the stove

                     Em              Am   D
And a candle burning brightly by the stairway

      G           C            D             Em
And a lamp in the window, that shines out to sea

      G              Em                   D         G    C  G
And I wish so much tonight, that you were here with me

                   C         D        G
Now the moon is in danger of running aground

                           Em               Am D
As she sweeps the tattered clouds above the island

        G              C               D             Em
And the stars lay like diamonds on the breast of the sea

      G                Em                D           G   
And I wonder where you are and if you're thinking of me
CHORUS:
         Em         G           C          D
Now I've grown so accustomed to having you near

      Em          G          C           A
And I miss you so madly when you are not here

       C             G               C            A
When I think how you love me, oh, it brings me to tears

      G              Em                   D         G
And I wish so much tonight, that you were here with me

      Em                                  D         G         
Oh, I wish so much tonight, that you were here with me
INSTRUMENTAL: G C G C D G C G Em C G C G
                     C           D          G
Well I dropped you a postcard, today in the mail

                    Em            Am  D
With a picture of a sailing ship upon it

      G            C                  D          Em
And I tried to say something that was clever and clear

        G            Em                   D            G   
But the only thing I wrote, was that, "I wish you were here"
CHORUS:
         Em         G           C          D
Now I've grown so accustomed to having you near

      Em          G          C           A
And I miss you so madly when you are not here

       C             G               C            A
When I think how you love me, oh, it brings me to tears

      G              Em                   D         G
And I wish so much tonight, that you were here with me

      Em                                  D         G         
Oh, I wish so much tonight, that you were here with me
