[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
