I made my baby cry

He tried hard to help me
             Am/G       G
You know, he put me at ease
       Am/G         G
And he loved me so naughty
        Am/G          G
Made me weak in the knees

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on


Verse 4:
    Am/G         G
I'm so hard to handle
     Am/G           G
I'm selfish and I'm sad
          Am/G                   G
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
     Am/G    G
That I ever had

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I would teach my feet to fly
      G                 D               G
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
  C                  G     Em   D
I made my baby say goodbye
