It's coming [C] on Christmas, they're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer, singing songs of [Bm] joy and peace
[Am] Oh, I wish I had a river, and I could [G] skate away
But you know [C] that it don't snow here, you know [Cm] it stays pretty [C] green
I'm gonna make a lot of money, and I'm gonna [G] quit this crazy scene
[Am] Oh, I wish I had a river, and I could skate [G] away
Oh, [F] I wish I had a river so [G] long I would [C] teach [G] my feet to [Dm] fly
Oh, I [C] wish I had a river, [G] and I could skate [F]
away
And I made my baby [Am] cry, [G] well
[F]
he tried to [C] help me
You know he put me at ease, and he loved me so
Now he made me [G] weak in the knees
[Am] Oh, I wish I had a river, and I could [G] skate away
But I'm so [C] hard to handle, you know I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I [F] went and lost the [C] best baby that [G] I've ever had
[Am] Oh, I wish I had a river, and I could skate [G] away
[F] Oh, I wish I had a river so [G] long I would teach my feet [Dm] to fly
Oh, I [C] wish I had a [G] river, [F] and I could skate away
I made my baby say [Am] goodbye
