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
F 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 G Dm
I would teach my feet to fly
C G Am
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
F 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 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 G Dm
I would teach my feet to fly
C G Am
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
F G C
I made my baby say goodbye
Instrumental
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
(End on C if you want)
