It's coming on Christmas 
        F5            C5
They're cutting down trees 
        F5          C5
They're putting up reindeer 
                     F5       C5
And singing songs of joy and peace 
      A5                         G5
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
 
    F5        C5
But it don't snow here 
   F5            C5
It stays pretty green 
             F5             C5
I'm going to make a lot of money 
                            F5     C5
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene 
      A5                         G5
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on 

  F5                     G5
I wish I had a river so long 
        C5                F5 A5 D5   D5
I would teach my feet to fly       wooh . .
  C5            F5             G5          C5
I wish I had a river I could skate away on 
C5         G5    C5
I made my baby cry

piano break

   F5             C5
He tried hard to help me 
             F5         C5
You know, he put me at ease 
       F5           C5
And he loved me so naughty 
        F5           C5
Made me weak in the knees 
      A5                         G5
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on 

    F5          C5
I'm so hard to handle 
    F5               C5
I'm selfish and I'm sad 
         F5                 C5
Now I've gone and lost the best baby 
     F5      C5
That I ever had 
      A5                         G5
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on 

  F5                     G5
I wish I had a river so long 
        C5                F5 A5 D5   D5
I would teach my feet to fly       wooh . .
  C5            F5             G5          C5
I wish I had a river I could skate away on 
C5         G5            C5
I made my baby say goodby

     F5         C5
It's coming on Christmas 
        F5            C5
They're cutting down trees 
        F5          C5
They're putting up reindeer 
                     F5       C5
And singing songs of joy and peace 
      A5                         G5
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
