[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]
G   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 ■
              F    C 
I could skate away on
  F       Csus4   
I made my baby cry
C Am G Gsus4 G

[Verse]
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
     F C       
That I ever had
     Am                
Oh I wish I had a river
        G            
I could skate away on
  F                     G   
I wish I had a river so long
        C                F Em 
I would teach my feet to ■ fly


[Chorus]
Dm7 G Dm7 G 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
