The Blizzard Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]The[Em]re's [G]a[Em]
[G]blizzard coming on
And I'm [C]wishing I was [G]home
For my pony's lame and he
can't hardly [D]stand
Lord, my [G]hands feel like they're froze
And there's a [C]numbness in my [G]toes
It's [D]only seven miles to Mari[Em]anne
It's [D]only seven miles to [G]Marianne
You can bet we're on her mind
For it's [C]nearly supper time
[G]And I'll bet there's hot
biscuits in the [D]pan
Damn, just [G]think about that barn
With that [C]haze so soft and [G]warm
It's [D]only five more miles to Mari[Em]anne
It's [D]only five more miles to [G]Mariette
That wind's a -howlin' and it seems
Mighty [C]like a woman's [G]scream
And we'd best be movin'
faster if we [D]can
Listen [G]to that [D]northern sigh
[G]If we don[C]'t get home we'll die[G]
It's [D]only three more miles to Mari[Em]anne
It's [D]only three more miles to [G]Marianne
Get up, Dan, you unrecussed,
or you'll [C]be the death of us
[G]I'm so weary, but I'll help you if I can[D]
All [G]right, Dan, perhaps it's best
we'll [C]just stop a while an[G]d rest
[D]It's just another mile to [Em]Marianne
It's [D]just another mile to [G]Marianne
Late that night the storm was gone
And they [C]found him there at dawn
[G]He'd have made it
but he just wouldn't leave old [D]Dan
Yes, they [G]found him on the plains,
his hands [C]frozen to the [G]rains.
He was [D]just a hundred
yards from Mari[Em]anne.
He was [D]just a hundred yards from Marianne.
[G]you
