The Blizzard

D                                       G             D
There's a blizzard comin' on    How I'm wishin' I was home
                                        A
For my pony's lame and he can't hardly stand
       D                             G                    D
Listen to that Norther sigh    If we don't get home we'll die
         A                     Bm    A                    D
But it's only 7 miles to Mary Ann    Only 7 miles to Mary Ann

D                                         G            D
You can bet we're on her mind   'Cuz it's nearly suppertime
                                         A
And I'll bet there's hot biscuits in the pan
        D                                        G              D
Lord my hands feel like their froze    There's a numbness in my toes
            A                          Bm    A                         D
But there's only 5 more miles to Mary Ann    Only 5 more miles to Mary Ann

That wind's howlin' and it seems Mighty like a woman's screams
                               A
We best be movin' faster if we can
          D                               G              D
Dan, just think about that barn with that hay so soft an warm
     A                           Bm         A                          D

Dan, get up you ornery cuss or you'll be the death of us
                                         A
Well, I'm so weary but I'll help ya if I can
                D                              G                D
Well, all right Dan, perhaps it's best that we stop a while and rest
      A                                Bm
We're still a hundred yards from Mary Ann

Well late that night the storm was gone and they found him there at dawn

                                                    A

Yes, they found him there on the plains with his hands froze to the
reins
       A                               Bm
He was just a hundred yards from Mary Ann

He was just a hundred yards from Mary Ann
