River chords

G  Em  C  D

     G
It's coming on Christmas
        G
They're cutting down trees
        G
They're putting up reindeer

And singing songs of joy and peace
Em                                D4             D
  Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
    G
But it don't snow here, it stays pretty green
            G
I'm going to make a lot of money

Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
Em                              D4           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  G      Am
I would teach my feet to   fly
      G                         D          C
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
  C            G
I made my baby cry

Em  D

   G
He tried hard to help me

You know, he put me at ease
      G
And he loved me so naughty
        G
Made me weak in the knees
      Em                         D4           D
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
       G
I'm so hard to handle
    G
I'm selfish and I'm sad
        G
Now I've gone and lost the best baby that I ever had
  Em                         D4             D
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

  C                     G
I wish I had a river so long
       G                C  G     Am
I would teach my feet to   fly
  G                         D4  D          Cmaj7
I wish I had a river I could       skate away on
  C               G           D
I made my baby say goodbye

     G
It's coming on Christmas
        G
They're cutting down trees
        G
They're putting up reindeer
           G
And singing songs of joy and peace
Em                               D4          D
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

C  C  C  C
