I Wish You Could Be Here

The Seekers

Transposer:

The intro is built around a D chord shape. Play along with the original recording to figure it out. This is based on what Bruce Woodley plays during the 1968 Seekers Farewell Concert. If you’d like more of an ending you can play the intro at the end and finish on the D. [Intro] [Verse] Looking from my window On the freshly fallen snow It sparkles as it tumbles Upon the street below The crackle of the fire Is laughing in my ear The room is warm and sleepy And I wish you could be here [Replay the intro here] [Verse] Somedays in this town There’s not a lot for me to do I’ve been listening to some records And my thoughts return to you I tried to read the paper But the words aren’t very clear Oh I know there’s something missing And I wish you could be here (I wish you could be here) [Instrumental] [Verse] I keep listening for your footsteps Or your key turned in the door I sure could use your company But we’ve been through that before I think the winter’s going to last A long time this year I’ve got lot’s empty time to fill And I wish you could be here [ending]

La chanson évoque un sentiment de solitude et de nostalgie. Le narrateur observe la neige qui tombe, tandis qu'il se trouve dans une pièce calme et chaleureuse, mais il ressent un vide intense sans la présence d'un être cher. Les jours passent, et malgré les activités simples qu'il entreprend, ses pensées le ramènent toujours à cette personne qui lui manque. Il espère que cette absence ne durera pas et aspire à partager ces moments ensemble, réprimant une certaine mélancolie face à l’hiver qui semble interminable. C'est une belle illustration de l'amour et de l'absence, où chaque instant rappelle le désir de réunification.
