[Verse]
C                       
It's coming on Christmas
        C                 
They're cutting down trees
        C                  
They're putting up reindeer
            F     C          Am   
And singing songs of joy and peace
                  Am   
Oh I wish I had a river
        G            
I could skate away on
C                     
But it don't snow here
Csus4           C    
It stays pretty green
             Csus4      C       
I'm going to make a lot of money
                       Csus4 C          
Then I'm going to quit this  crazy scene
Am                  
I wish I had a river
        G             Gsus4
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
Oh I wish I had a river ■
              C      
I could skate away on
  F       C       
I made my baby cry
Am G Gsus4 G

[Verse]
Csus4    C              
He tried hard to help me
         C                
You know he put me at ease
       C                  
And he loved me so naughty
        F       C        
Made me weak in the knees
            Am         
Oh I wish I had a river
        G            
I could skate away on
Csus4 C                
I'm   so hard to handle
F           C          
I'm selfish and I'm sad
                  C                 
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
     C         
That I ever had
     Am                
Oh I wish I had a river
        G            
I could skate away on
  F                     G    G7
I wish I had a river so long ■ 
        C                F Em 
I would teach my feet to ■ fly


[Chorus]
Dm7 G Dm7 G Dm7 Dm
■   ■ ■   ■ ■   ■ 
          C             G
Oh I wish I had a river ■
              F      
I could skate away on
               C          
I made my baby say goodbye
Am G Gsus4 G

It's coming on Christmas
        C

        C                     
Singing songs of joy and peace
Am                  
I wish I had a river
        G            
I could skate away on
