[G]
It's [C] coming on Christmas, they're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer and singing [C] songs of joy and [Am] peace
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate [G] away on
[C] But it don't snow here, stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot of money, then I'm gonna quit this crazy [Am] scene
I wish I had a river I could skate [G] away on
[F] I wish I had a river so [G] long [C] I would teach my feet [F] to [Em] fly

cried
[Am]
[B] [G]
[D] [G] [C] He tried hard to help me, you know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so not, he made [F] me weak [C] in the knees
Oh I [Am] wish I had a river I could [G] skate away on
I'm [G] [C]
so hard to handle, I'm selfish and I'm sad
