[Intro] G Em C D
C G
It's coming on Christmas
C G
They're cutting down trees
C G
They're putting up reindeer
G
And singing songs of joy and peace
Em
Oh I wish I had a river
D
I could skate away on
C G
But it don't snow here
C G
It stays pretty green
C G
I'm going to make a lot of money
G
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
Em
Oh I wish I had a river
D
I could skate away on
C D
Oh I wish I had a river so long
G C Em Am
I would teach my feet to fly
G D
Oh I wish I had a river
C
I could skate away on
G Em D
I made my baby cry
C G
He tried hard to help me
C G
You know, he put me at ease
C G
And he loved me so naughty
G
Made me weak in the knees
Em
Oh I wish I had a river
D
I could skate away on
C G
I'm so hard to handle
C G
I'm selfish and I'm sad
C G
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
G
That I ever had
Em
Oh I wish I had a river
D
I could skate away on
C D
Oh I wish I had a river so long
G C Em Am
I would teach my feet to fly
G D
Oh I wish I had a river
G D C
I could skate away on
G Em D Am D
I made my baby say goodbye
C G
It's coming on Christmas
C G
They're cutting down trees
C G
They're putting up reindeer
G
And singing songs of joy and peace
Em
I wish I had a river
D C Am
I could skate away on
