[Intro]

[C] [G]

[Verse 1]

It’s [C]coming on Christmas
They’re cutting down trees
They’re putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
[Am]Oh, I wish I had a river I could ska..[G]te away on
[C]But it don’t snow here
It stays pretty green
I’m gonna make a lot of money
Then I’m going to quit this crazy sc[Am]ene
Oh, I wish I had a river I could s[G]kate away on

[Chorus]

I [F]wish I had a river so [G]long
I would[C] teach my feet to[F] fl[C]y..[Dm]
Oh, I [C]wish I had a river[G] I could skate[F] away on

[Verse 2]

I made my baby [C]cry
[Am] [G]
He [C]tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh, [Am]I wish I had a river I could ska..[G]te away on
I’m [C]so hard to handle
I’m selfish and I’m sad
Now I’ve gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
[Am]I wish I had a river I could ska..[G]te away on

[Chorus]

[F]I wish I had a river so [G]long
I would [C]teach my feet to[F] fl[Em]y..[Dm]..[G]..[Dm]
Oh, [C]I wish I had a river[G] I could skate[F] away on

[Outro]

I made my baby [C]say goodbye
[Am] [G]
It’s [C]coming on Christmas
They’re cutting down trees
They’re putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and [Am]peace
Oh, I wish I had a river I could ska…[G]te away on
