Chords

[Intro] 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
