RIVER - Joni Mitchell (capo 5h for JM version, capo 2nd for Travis version)
- adapted by Anton Frank
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)
It's c[C]oming on C[G]hristmas, they're c[C]utting down [G]trees
They're p[C]utting up [G]reindeer and singing [C]songs of joy and p[G]eace
[Em]Oh I wish I had a river I could skate a[D]way on[Dsus4] [D]
But [C]it don't [G]snow here, it [C]stays pretty[G] green
I'm going to [C]make alot of [G]money then I'm going to[C] quit this crazy [G]scene
Oh I [Em]wish I had a river I could skate aw[D]ay on[Dsus4] [D]
Oh I w[C]ish I had a river so l[D]ong
I would t[G]each my feet to[C] fl[Am]y
Oh I w[G]ish I had a river[D] I could skate aw[C]ay on
I made my baby c[G]ry[Em] [D]
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)
