The River
│ C  Am   GF         C                 F            C
It's coming on Christmas, they’re cutting down trees
         F              C
They're putting up reindeer 
            F       C
And singing songs of joy and peace 
      Am                         G
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
 
    F        C             F            C
But it don't snow here, it stays pretty green
             F             C
I'm going to make a lot of money 
                  F               C
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene 
      Am                         G
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on 
 
  F                     G
I wish I had a river so long 
        C                 Am Dm   Dm7
I would teach my feet to fl………y    
     C                  G               Am
Ohhh I wish I had a river   I could skate away on 
  F             C     Am  G
I made my baby cry
 
   F             C                F            C
He tried hard to help me, you know, he put me at ease 
        F           C
And he loved me so naughty 
        F           C
Made me weak in the knees 
      Am                         G
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on 
 
    F          C           F               C
I'm so hard to handle, I'm selfish and I'm sad
          F                 C
Now I've gone and lost the best baby 
     F      C
That I ever had 
      Am                         G
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on 
 
  F barre               G
I wish I had a river so long 
        C                Am Dm   Dm7
I would teach my feet to fly       
  C                    G               Am
Ohhh I wish I had a river I could skate away on 
     F            C           Am   G
I made my baby say goodbye
 
     F         C                   F            C
It's coming on Christmas, they’re cutting down trees 
         F          C                  F        C
They're putting up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace 
      Am                            G
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate aw………ay on
