G
I wish I was in Wellington, the weather's not so good

Em
The wind it cuts right through you and

    C
it rains more than it should


Am
But I'd be there tomorrow, if I only could


      C
Oh I wish I was in Wellington

(ramp up tone)

    G
I wish I was in Wellington - the bureaucracy.

      D
The suits and the briefcases along Lambton Quay [pronounced "Kee"]

        Am
 The Harbour City Capital, the lights beside the sea


      C
Oh I wish I was in Wellington


Am
It just isn't practical, you down in the capital


    D
And me at the other end of the island (syncopated)

C
The problem is the gap - between us on the map

D
And there's no easy way to reconcile it
