The CD is due for release May 10th, 2005.
You can also play no capo in the Key of E (E for D, F#m for Em, A for G)


Capo 2


D
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

We were down on Beale Street in Memphis, TN
With the blues, the booze and barbeques, our name on the marquee
And you should have seen the crowd we drew in there
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


We broke down in Kentucky, in Richmond there was snow
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


Bridge


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


What I really mean, I wish you were here

The only thing I would add...when I play, I play the D like a Dsus 2 ( X00230) and then hammer on to the D.
Not nessicary but I think it sounds good.

I love this song...nice job. Its such a great song except for that one little annoying instrument in there that makes it sound like hotel lobby music.
-mystikal1116 | 6/19/2005
For the verse, instead of just D, you can do D to a pre>002020/pre> thing

Any idea of the chords for the instrumental break? I mean before playing through a verse.
