Intro: G, Em, Csus2, D (Dadd5-Dsus4-D-D-Dsus2-D)
(adjust melody of Jingle Bells, as I play it on the guitar, I use three top
strings, it’s pretty easy to pick it out)
C G C G
It's coming on Christmas, they're cutting down trees
C G C G
They're putting up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace
Em D Dsus4 D
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
C G C G
But it don't snow here, it stays pretty green
C G C G
I'm going to make alot of money then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
Em D Dsus4 D
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
C D
Oh I wish I had a river so long
G C Am
I would teach my feet to fly
G D C
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
G Em D
I made my baby cry
He tried hard to help me, he put me at ease
Lord he loved me so naughty made me weak in the knees
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I'm so hard to handle, I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby that I ever had
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
Oh I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I made my baby say goodbye
It's coming on Christmas, they're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
(in the ending she plays with D, Csus2, Am)
