Intro: Bb Gm  Eb F
 
Verse 1:
     Bb
It's coming on Christmas
        Bb
They're cutting down trees
        Bb
They're putting up reindeer
 
And singing songs of joy and peace
Gm                                Fsus4             F
  Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
    Bb
But it don't snow here, it stays pretty green
            Bb
I'm going to make a lot of money
 
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
Gm                              Fsus4           F
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
 
Chorus:
  Eb                    F
I wish I had a river so long
       Bb               Eb Bb     Cm
I would teach my feet to   fly
      Bb                        F          Eb
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
  Eb           Bb
I made my baby cry
 
Interlude: Gm F
 
Verse 2:
   Bb
He tried hard to help me
 
You know, he put me at ease
      Bb
And he loved me so naughty
        Bb
Made me weak in the knees
      Gm                         Fsus4           F
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
       Bb
I'm so hard to handle
    Bb
I'm selfish and I'm sad
        Bb
Now I've gone and lost the best baby that I ever had
  Gm                         Fsus4             F
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
 
Chorus:
  Eb                    Bb
I wish I had a river so long
       Bb               Eb Bb    Cm
I would teach my feet to   fly
  Bb                        Fsus4  F          Ebmaj7
I wish I had a river I could       skate away on
  Eb              Bb          F
I made my baby say goodbye

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
