Intro: C Am  C Am  C Am  G

     F         C
It's coming on Christmas
        F            C
They're cutting down trees
        F          C
They're putting up reindeer
                     F       C
And singing songs of joy and peace
      Am                         G
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

    F        C
But it don't snow here
   F            C
It stays pretty green
             F             C
I'm going to make a lot of money
                            F     C
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
      Am                         G
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

  F                     G
I wish I had a river so long
        C                F Am Dm   Dm7
I would teach my feet to fly       wooh . .
  C            F             G          C
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
C         G    C
I made my baby cry

   F             C
He tried hard to help me
             F         C
You know, he put me at ease
       F           C
And he loved me so naughty
        F           C
Made me weak in the knees
      Am                         G
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

    F          C
I'm so hard to handle
    F               C
I'm selfish and I'm sad
         F                 C
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
     F      C
That I ever had
      Am                         G
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

  F                     G
I wish I had a river so long
        C                F Am Dm   Dm7
I would teach my feet to fly       wooh . .
  C            F             G          C
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
C         G            C
I made my baby say goodby

     F         C
It's coming on Christmas
        F            C
They're cutting down trees
        F          C
They're putting up reindeer
                     F       C
And singing songs of joy and peace
      Am                         G
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
