Intro: C Am F G

Itʼs Ccoming on Christmas

Theyʼre cutting down trees
Theyʼre Cputting up reindeer

And singing songs of joy and peace

Oh, I Amwish I had a river
I could skaGte away on

But Cit donʼt snow here

It stays pretty green
Iʼm going to Cmake a lot of money

Then Iʼm going to quit this crazy scene

Oh, I Amwish I had a river
I could skaGte away on

Chorus:
    I Fwish I had a river so Glong
    I would Cteach my feet to FflDmy wooh...
    I Cwish I had a river
    GI could skate awFay on
    I made my baCby cryAm   G 

He Ctried hard to help me

You know, he put me at ease
And he Cloved me so naughty

Made me weak in the knees

Oh, I Amwish I had a river
I could skaGte away on

Iʼm Cso hard to handle

Iʼm selfish and Iʼm sad
Now Iʼve Cgone and lost the best baby

That I ever had

Oh, I Amwish I had a river
I could skaGte away on

Chorus:
    I Fwish I had a river so Glong
    I would Cteach my feet to FflDmy wooh...
    I Cwish I had a river
    GI could skate awFay on
    I made my baby Csay goodbyeAm   G
