     Am        G 
It's coming on Christmas  
        Am           G 
They're cutting down trees  
        Am         G 
They're putting up reindeer  
            Am               G   
And singing songs of joy and peace  
     Em                         D 
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on  


    Am       G 
But it don't snow here  
    Am          G 
It stays pretty green  
             Am            G 
I'm going to make a lot of money  
                  Am              G 
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene  
     Em                         D 
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on  


   C                     D 
I wish I had a river so long  
        G                C  D  Am 
I would teach my feet to fly 
  G                 D                   Em  
I wish I had a river I could skate away on  
   C      D    G 
I made my baby cry 


   Am            G 
He tried hard to help me  
             Am        G 
You know, he put me at ease  
       Am          G 
And he loved me so naughty  
        Am          G 
Made me weak in the knees  
     Em                         D 
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on  


    Am         G 
I'm so hard to handle  
    Am              G 
I'm selfish and I'm sad  
         Am            G 
Now I've lost the best baby  
       Am      G 
That I ever had  
     Em                         D 
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on  


   C                     D 
I wish I had a river so long  
        G                C  D  Am 
I would teach my feet to fly 
  G                 D                   Em  
I wish I had a river I could skate away on  
   C      D    G 
I made my baby say goodbye 



Instrumental solo


     Am        G 
It's coming on Christmas  
        Am           G 
They're cutting down trees  
        Am         G 
They're putting up reindeer  
            Am               G   
And singing songs of joy and peace  
     Em                         D 
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on  


(End on G if you want)
