[D] [G] [D] [D]
It's coming on [G] Christmas, they're cutting down the trees
[D] They're putting up rain dance, singing [G] songs of joy and peace
[Em] Oh, I wish [B] I had a river [Em] I could skate [D] away on
But it don't [G] snow here, it stays pretty green
Make a lot of money, then I'm gonna quit this crazy [G] scene
Oh, I wish I had a river [Em]
I could [E] skate away on
[C] I wish I had a river so [D]
long [G] enough to teach my feet [C] to [Bm] fly
[Am] [D] [Am]
[Bm] [G] Oh, I wish I had a river [D] I could skate [C] away on
Made my baby [G] cry, [C]
[Em] [E] [D]
she tried hard to [G] help me
And she put me at ease, [D] loved me [G] so not
It made me weak in the knees
[Em] Oh, I wish I had a river I could [D] skate away [E] on
I'm [D] so hard to [G] handle, selfish and I'm sad
Lost the best baby that I ever had
[Em] Oh, I wish [Bm] I had a river [Em] I could [D] skate [A] away on
I [C] wish I had a river so [D] long enough [G] to teach my feet [C] to [Bm] fly
Oh, I [Am]
[D] [Am] [D]
[Am] [G] wish I had a river [D] I could skate [C] away on
[G] Made my baby [G] say goodbye
[C] [Em] [E]
[Em] [D]
[D] It's coming on [G] Christmas, they're cutting down the trees
They're putting up rain dance, singing songs of joy and peace
