Intro: C Am F G C Itʼs coming on Christmas Theyʼre cutting down trees C Theyʼre putting up reindeer And singing songs of joy and peace Am Oh, I wish I had a river G I could skate away on C But it donʼt snow here It stays pretty green C Iʼm going to make a lot of money Then Iʼm going to quit this crazy scene Am Oh, I wish I had a river G I could skate away on Chorus: F G I wish I had a river so long C F Dm I would teach my feet to fly wooh... C I wish I had a river G F I could skate away on C Am G I made my baby cry C He tried hard to help me You know, he put me at ease C And he loved me so naughty Made me weak in the knees Am Oh, I wish I had a river G I could skate away on C Iʼm so hard to handle Iʼm selfish and Iʼm sad C Now Iʼve gone and lost the best baby That I ever had Am Oh, I wish I had a river G I could skate away on Chorus: F G I wish I had a river so long C F Dm I would teach my feet to fly wooh... C I wish I had a river G F I could skate away on C Am G I made my baby say goodbye C Itʼs coming on Christmas Theyʼre cutting down trees C Theyʼre putting up reindeer And singing songs of joy and peace Am Oh, I wish I had a river G I could skate away on
