It's coming on Christmas, they're 
   G/C           G
cutting down trees
         G/C         G        
They're putting up reindeer and 
    G/C                     G
singing songs of joy and peace
Em                            
Oh I wish I had a river I could 
         D     Dsus4 D
skate away on
    G/C       G            G/C   
But it don't snow here, it stays 
        G
pretty green
              G/C          G      
I'm going to make alot of money 
       G/C                       G
then I'm going to quit this crazy 
scene
     Em                        
Oh I wish I had a river I could 
         D     Dsus4 D
skake away on

Oh I wish I had a river so long

I would teach my feet to fly

I made my baby cry


He tried hard to help me, he put me 
at ease
Lord he loved me so naughty made me 
weak in the knees
I wish I had a river I could skate 
away on
I'm so hard to handle, I'm selfish 
and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
 that I ever had
I wish I had a river I could skate 
away on

Oh I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on Christmas, they're 
cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer and 
singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate 
away on
