"River" by Joni Mitchell


Intro:

C          C/A C/F          G 

(Play "Jingles Bells" melody using the C chord)

Dm/C               C
It's coming on Christmas
Dm/C               C
They're cutting down trees
Dm/C               C
They're putting up reindeer
Dm/C               C
And singing songs of joy and peace
Am
Oh I wish I had a river
G
I could skate away on
Dm/C               C
But it don't snow here
Dm/C               C
It stays pretty green
Dm/C               C
I'm going to make a lot of money
Dm/C               C
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
Am
I wish I had a river
G
I could skate away on
F       G
I wish I had a river so long
C     F Em   Dm  
I would teach my feet to fly
C
Oh I wish I had a river
G Fm
I could skate away on
C
I made my baby cry

Dm/C               C
He tried hard to help me
Dm/C               C
You know, he put me at ease
Dm/C               C
And he loved me so naughty
Dm/C               C
Made me weak in the knees
Am
Oh I wish I had a river
G
I could skate away on
Dm/C               C
I'm so hard to handle
Dm/C               C
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Dm/C               C
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
Dm/C               C
That I ever had
Am
Oh I wish I had a river
G
I could skate away on
Fm G
I wish I had a river so long
C     F   Em   Dm
I would teach my feet to fly
G Fm
Oh I wish I had a river
C
I made my baby say goodbye
Dm/C               C
It's coming on christmas
Dm/C               C
They're cutting down trees
Dm/C               C
They're putting up reindeer
Dm/C               C
And singing songs of joy and peace
Am
I wish I had a river
G
I could skate away on

Outro:

Play "Jingle Bells" Melody using the G chord
