Jamie Cullum – River (Ukulele)

C
It's coming on Christmas

C
They're cutting down trees

C
They're putting up reindeer

G
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

G
And quit this crazy scene

A                            G
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

F                       G
I wish I had a river so long

C                   F     G
I would teach myself to fly

C                    G             A
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

F         G    C
I made my baby cry

C
He tried hard to help me

C
You know, he put me at ease

C
And he loved me so naughty

G
Make me weak at the knees

A                    G
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

G
That I ever had

A                    G
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

F                       G
I wish I had a river so long

C                    F   G
I would teach myself to fly

C                    G
I wish I had a river

A
I could skate away on

F         G        C
I made my baby say goodbye
