The Blizzard Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]There's a blizzard coming on,
and I'm wish[G]ing I was [D]home
For my pony's lame,
and he can hardly [A]stand
Listen [D]to that northern sigh
If we [G]don't get home we'll [D]die
But [A]it's only seven miles to Mary An[Bm]n
Yes, it's [A]only seven miles to Mary [D]An n
You can bet we're [A]on [D]her mind,
For [G]it's nearly supper [D]time,
And I'll bet there's hot
biscuits in the [A]pan.
[D]Lord, my hands feel like they're froze,
And [G]there's a numbness in my [D]toes,
But it's [A]only five more miles
to Mary [B]An [Bm]n
[F#]It's [Bm]only [A]five more miles
to Mary [D]Ann[Bb]
That wind's [Eb]howlin' and it seems
Mighty [Ab]like a woman's [Eb]screams
And we'd best be movin'
faster if we [C]can[Bb]
Dan, just [Eb]think about the barn
And that [Ab]hay so soft and warm
[Eb]For it's only [Bb]three more
miles to [Cm]Marianne
Yes, it's [Bb]only three more miles
to Mary [Eb]An n[Cm].[Eb]
Dan, [Ab]get on up, you ordinary c[Eb]uss.
Don't you [Bb]know [Eb]you're
gonna be the death of us?
Oh, I'm [Bb]so weary.
But you know I'll help you if I [Eb]can.
All right, Dan.
[Ab]Perhaps it's best if we just
[Eb]stop [Bb]a while and rest.
Mind you, it's still a hundred
yards [Cm]to Mary Ann.
[Bb]Still a hundred yards to Mary [Eb]An n[E].
Hate that night, the storm was gone
An[A]d they found him t[B]here at d[E]awn
And he'd have made it too
[B]But[E] he just cou[C#m]ld n't[B]
leave old [E]Dang
They found him on the plains,
[A]his hands froze to [E]the rains,
[B]he was just a hundred
yards from [C#m]Marianne.
He was [F#]just [B]a hundred
yards [D]from [B]Marianne.
[E]He was jus[B]t a hundred yards

[Outro 1]
from where we met
[C#m][E][A][E]
