D                                       G             D
Thereās a blizzard cominā on    How Iām wishinā I was home
                                        A
For my ponyās lame and he canāt hardly stand
       D                             G                    D
Listen to that Norther sigh    If we donāt get home weāll die
         A                     Bm    A                    D
But itās only 7 miles to Mary Ann    Only 7 miles to Mary Ann

D                                         G            D
You can bet weāre on her mind   ĪCuz itās nearly suppertime
                                         A
And Iāll bet thereās hot biscuits in the pan
        D                                        G              D
Lord my hands feel like their froze    Thereās a numbness in my toes
            A                          Bm    A                         D

But thereās only 5 more miles to Mary Ann    Only 5 more miles to Mary
Ann

                                        G                D
That windās howlinā and it seems Mighty like a womanās screams
                               A
We best be movinā faster if we can
          D                               G              D
Dan, just think about that barn with that hay so soft an warm
     A                           Bm         A                          D

Itās only 3 more miles to Mary Ann     Itās only 3 more miles to Mary
Ann

D                                     G               D
Dan, get up you ornery cuss or youāll be the death of us
                                         A
Well, Iām so weary but Iāll help ya if I can
                D                              G                D
Well, all right Dan, perhaps itās best that we stop a while and rest
      A                                Bm
Weāre still a hundred yards from Mary Ann
     A                              D
Itās still a hundred yards to Mary Ann

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

                                                    A
Well, heād a made it but he just couldnāt leave old Dan
           D                                     G                  D
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
       A                                D
He was just a hundred yards from Mary Ann
