[Eb] [Bb]
[F]
It's coming [Bb] on Christmas, they're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer, singing songs of joy and [Gm] peace
Oh I wish I had [G] a river, I could skate [F] away on
[Bb] But it don't snow [Bb] here, I say it's pretty green
[C] I'm gonna make a lot of [Bb] money, and then I'm gonna quit this [Gm] crazy scene
[Gm] Oh I wish I had a river, I could skate [F] away on
I [Eb] wish I had a river so [F] long I [Bb] would teach my feet [Eb] to [Bb] fly [Cm]

Now he put me at ease, [Eb] and he loved me so not
He made [Bb] me weak in the knees
Oh [Gm] I wish I had a river, [Cm] I could [Gm] skate [F] away on
I'm [Bb] so hard to handle, I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've got to lose the best baby that I ever had
Oh [Gm] I wish I had a river, I could skate [F] away on
Oh [Eb] I wish I had a river so [F] long I [Bb] would teach my feet to [Eb] [Gm] fly [Cm]
