[Verse 1]
     Bbsus4    Bb
It's coming on Christmas
        Bbsus4       Bb
They're cutting down trees
        Bbsus4     Bb
They're putting up reindeer
        Bbsus4           Bb
Singing songs of joy and peace
      Gm                         Gm/D  Fadd9   Fsus2 F
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

[Verse 2]
    Bbsus4   Bb
But it don't snow here
    Bbsus4      Bb
It stays pretty green
             Bbsus4        Bb
I'm going to make a lot of money
                   Bbsus4          Bb
And then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene
      Gm                         (Gm/D) Fadd9   Fsus2 Fsus2 F
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

[Chorus]

I wish I had a river so long
        Bb               Eb Eb/D Cm Eb/D Cm/B
I would teach my feet to fly
      Bb                 Fadd9
Oh, I wish I had a river
Fadd9         Eb
I could skate away on
  Eb           Bb  Gm      F Fsus2 Fadd9
I made my baby cry ahhhhh  ahhhh   uuu


[Verse 3]
   Bbsus4        Bb
He tried hard to help me
             Bbsus4    Bb
You know, he put me at ease
       Bbsus4      Bb
And he loved me so naughty
        Bbsus4      Bb
Made me weak in the knees
      Gm                         Gm/D  Fadd9   Fsus2 F
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

[Verse 4]
          Bbsus4     Bb
Well, I'm so hard to handle
    Bbsus4          Bb
I'm selfish and I'm sad
         Bbsus4   Bb
Now I've gone and lost
         Bbsus4           Bb
The best baby that I ever had
      Gm                         Gm/D  Fadd9   Fsus2 F
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

[Chorus]

I wish I had a river so long
        Bb               Eb   Bb   Cm   Cm7  F Eb/D Cm
I would teach my feet to flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
      Bb           Fadd9
Oh, I wish I had a river
Fadd9         Eb
I could skate away on
  Eb               Bb      Gm      F Fsus2 Fadd9
I made my baby say goodbye ahhhhh  ahhhh   uuu
