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
NOTE: The lyrics are from the Joni Mitchell version, and the guitar
chords are from the Indigo Girls version. Sorry if that's screwy.
