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 cComing on CGhristmas, they're cCutting down Gtrees
They're pCutting up Greindeer and singing Csongs of joy and pGeace
EmOh I wish I had a river I could skate aDway onDsus4 D
But Cit don't Gsnow here, it Cstays prettyG green
I'm going to Cmake alot of Gmoney then I'm going toC quit this crazy Gscene
Oh I Emwish I had a river I could skate awDay on Dsus4 D
Oh I wCish I had a river so lDong
I would tGeach my feet toC flAmy
Oh I wGish I had a riverD I could skate awCay on
I made my baby cGry 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)
