[E] [C] [Bb]
[Dm] It's [Fm] coming on [Bb] Christmas, they're cutting down trees
Putting up reindeer and singing songs [D] of [Gm] joy and of peace
I wish I had a river, [F]
I could scale the way on
But [Bb]
it don't snow here, it stays pretty green
[Cm]
I'm gonna make [Bb] a lot of money, then I'm gonna quit this [Cm] crazy [Ab] sin
[Dm] Wish I had a river, [G] [F]
I could scale the way on

[Gm] climb the hill
I [Bb] wish I had a river, [F]
I could [Eb] scale the way on

Oh, [Gm] I wish I had a river, I could scale the way on
[Bb]
Cause I'm so hard to [Gm] handle, oh I get selfish [F] and I'm sad [Bb] sometimes
Now I've lost the best baby that I [Dm] had

I could scale [F] the way on
