[Verse]
Dm/C C
It's coming on Christmas
Dm/C C
They're cutting down trees
Dm/C C
They're putting up reindeer
Dm/C C
And singing songs of joy and peace
Am
Oh I wish I had a river
G
I could skate away on
Dm/C C
But it don't snow here
Dm/C C
It stays pretty green
Dm/C C
I'm going to make a lot of money
Dm/C C
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
Am
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 Dm
I would teach my feet to fly
C
Oh I wish I had a river
G Fm
I could skate away on
C
I made my baby cry
Dm/C C
He tried hard to help me
Dm/C C
You know, he put me at ease
Dm/C C
And he loved me so naughty
Dm/C C
Made me weak in the knees
Am
Oh I wish I had a river
G
I could skate away on
Dm/C C
I'm so hard to handle
Dm/C C
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Dm/C C
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
Dm/C C
That I ever had
Am
Oh I wish I had a river
G
I could skate away on
Fm G
I wish I had a river so long
C F Em Dm
I would teach my feet to fly
G Fm
Oh I wish I had a river
C
I made my baby say goodbye
Dm/C C
It's coming on christmas
Dm/C C
They're cutting down trees
Dm/C C
They're putting up reindeer
Dm/C C
And singing songs of joy and peace
Am
I wish I had a river
G
I could skate away on
