[Verse 1]
G G
There's a blizzard coming on
C G
And I'm wishing I was home
G G D D
For my pony's lame and he can't hardly stand
G G
Lord, my hands feel like their froze
C G
And there's a numb that's in my toes
D D Em Em
But it's only seven miles to Mary Ann
D D G G
It's only seven miles to Mary Ann
[Verse 2]
G G
You can bet we're on her mind
C G
For it's nearly suppertime
G G D D
And I know that there's hot biscuits in the pan
G G
Listen to that norther sigh
C G
If we don't get home we'll die
D D Em Em
But it's only five more miles to Mary Ann
D D G G
It's only five more miles to Mary Ann
[Verse 3]
G G
That wind's howling and it seems
C G
Mighty like a women's screams
G G D D
And we'd best be moving faster, if we can
G G
Dan, just think about that barn
C G
With that hay so soft and warm
D D Em Em
It's only three more miles to Mary Ann
D D G G
It's only three more miles to Mary Ann

[Verse 4]
G G
Come on Dan get up, you honory cuss
C G
Or you'll be the death of us
G G D D
I'm so weary but I'll help you, if I can
G G
All right, Dan, perhaps it's best
C G
We'll just stop a while and rest
D D Em Em
For it's still another mile to Mary Ann
D D G G
It's still another mile to Mary Ann
[Verse 5]
G G
Late that night the storm was gone
C G
And they found him there at dawn
G G D D
He'd made it but he couln't leave old Dan
G G
Yes, they found him on the plains
C G
His hands frozen to the reigns
D D Em Em
He was just a hundred yards from Mary Ann
D D G
He was just a hundred yards from Mary Ann
