C Gsus4 G
[Verse 1]
C
It's coming on Christmas
C
They're cutting down trees
C
They're putting up reindeer
C
And singing songs of joy and peace
Am G
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
C
But it don't snow here
C
It stays pretty green
C
I'm gonna make a lot of money
C
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
Am G
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
[Chorus]
F G
I wish I had a river so long
C F Em Dm
I would teach my feet to fly
C G F
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
C
I made my baby cry
[Interlude]
C Am G
[Verse 2]
C
He tried hard to help me
C
You know, he put me at ease
C
And he loved me so naughty
C
Made me so weak in the knees
Am G
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
C
I'm so hard to handle
C
I'm selfish and I'm sad
C
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
C
That I ever had
Am G
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
[Chorus]
F G
Oh, I wish I had a river so long
C F Em Dm D Dm
I would teach my feet to fly
C G F
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
C
I made my baby say goodbye
[Interlude]
C Am G
[Outro]
C
It's coming on Christmas
C
They're cutting down trees
C
They're putting up reindeer
C
And singing songs of joy and peace
Am G
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
Dm
