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