What I Really Mean

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
D
We were down on Beale Street, Memphis Tennessee
D
With the blues, the booze and barbeques and our name on the marquee
Em D
And you should have seen, the crowd we drew in there
Em G D
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
D
We broke down in Kentucky, in Richmond there was snow
D
Saw our friends in Charlotte, we played on the radio
Em D
And you should have seen us singin’ on the air
Em G D
What I really mean, I wish you were here
[Instrumental]

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