[G]I wish I was in W[Em]ellington, the w[C]eather's not so [G]good

[G]The wind it cuts right th[Em]rough you and

it r[C]ains more than it sho[C]uld

[C]But I'd be there tom[D]orrow, i[G]f I only c[Am]ould

Oh I w[Bm]ish I was in Well[C]ington

(ramp up tone)

I wi[G]sh I was in We[Em]llington - t[C]he bureauc[G]racy.

G Am (high harmony) C D
The suits and the briefcases along Lambton Quay (pronounced "Kee")

The Har[C]bour City Cap[D7]ital, the li[Em]ghts b[Am7]eside th[Am]e sea

Oh I w[G]ish I was in Wellin[C]gton

[G]It just isn't [Em]practical, [Bm]you down in the [Am]capital

And [C]me at the o[Am]ther end of the [C]islan[D]d (syncopated)

[Am]The problem is the g[D]ap - bet[Em]ween us on the [C]map

[Am]And there's no easy w[C]ay to recon[D]cile it[Dsus2][D]
