G#m B F#

[Verse 1]
B                          F#
One ten year old was found after three weeks
     G#m                         D#
In a snowdrift ten feet from his door
G#m                       B                    F#
Some fell asleep in their cars and awakened no more

B              F#
25 people died shoveling snow
          G#m                  D#
Have that done by somebody you hate
G#m B                     F#
166 looters arrested, but wait

[Chorus]
B                       F#
I spent the blizzard of '78
     G#m                    D#
On a commune in Northern Vermont
     G#m              B                 F#
With all the Isaac Asimov anybody could want

[Verse 2]
B                   F#
Music was very much not allowed
         G#m                           D#
So we we said "Hey kids, let's start a band"
G#m
Proof that Ganesh loves us
B                         F#
There was no tape deck at hand

    B                              F#
The first band I'd had was called "One and a Half"
          G#m           D#
We were a duo, technically
      G#m                    B
So if Tonto's Expanding Head Band was a band
        F#
So were we

[Chorus]
B                        F#
I spent the blizzard of '78
     G#m                    D#
On a commune in Northern Vermont
     G#m               B                   F#
With all the Ursula Le Guin any body could want

[Verse 3]
B                F#
I played guitar, Chris played tin cans
G#m             D#
Caroline played tambourine
G#m           B               F#
Chris was 11, Caroline 12, I 13

B                              F#
We called ourselves "the Black Widows"
G#m                         D#
We weren't the last nor the first
G#m                B                    F#
But we were almost certainly by far the worst

B                        F#
We made the Cramps sound orchestral
G#m                      D#
That's an achievement, I guess
G#m
As for rehearsal
B                             F#
We made the Shaggs sound like Yes

[Chorus]
B                        F#
I spent the blizzard of '78
     G#m                    D#
On a commune in Northern Vermont
     G#m                B                F#
With all the Roger Zelazny anybody could want

[Outro]
       B
It was hell
F# G#m D#
G#m B F#
