River
Joni Mitchell

INTRO:
C    Am    Fmaj7   G  Gadd11  G
(Pick out melody notes of Jingle Bells)

     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        Gadd11    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                                 F     C
I'm going to make a lot of money then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
     Am                         G             Gadd11    G
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
     F                     G
Oh I wish I had a river so long
        C        Cma9/B   Dm  Em  Fmaj7
I would teach my feet to  fly
     C                  G             Fmaj7
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
Fmaj7          C    Cma9/B  Am    G     Gadd11    G
I made my baby cry

She tried hard to help me, she put me at ease
Lord she 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 could skate away on
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

REPEAT INTRO AND END ON G
