[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]
