RIVER- Joni Mitchell/ The Indigo Girls

G Em Dsus4 D Dsus2 (pick out melody notes of Jingle Bells)

G/C G G/C G

It's coming on Christmas, they're cutting down trees

G/C G 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

G/C G G/C G

But it don't snow here, it stays pretty green

G/C G 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 skake away on

C D

Oh I wish I had a river so long

G G/F# Em

I would teach my feet to fly

G D C

Oh I wish I had a river I could skake away on

G Em Dsus4 D Dsus2

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
