It's coming [A] on Christmas
They're [D]
cutting down [A] trees
[D] They're putting [A] up reindeer
And singing [D] songs of joy [A] and peace
[F#] I wish I [F#m] had a river
I could [E] skate away on
[E] But it don't snow [A] here
[B] It stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot of money
Then I'm gonna quit this [A] crazy scene

Teach my feet to [F#m] fly
