D   A   D   D
[Verse 1]
DThere's a blizzard comin' D7on how I'm Gwishin' I was Dhome
For my Dpony's lame and Dhe can't hardly AstandA  
Listen Dto that northern D7sigh if we Gdon't get home we'll Ddie
But it's Aonly seven Amiles to Mary BmAnneBm  
It's Aonly seven Amiles to Mary DAnneD  
[Verse 2]
You can Dbet we're on her D7mind for it's Gnearly DChristmas time
And I'll Dbet there's hot Dbiscuits in the ApanA  
Lord my Dhands feel like they're D7froze and there's a Gnumbness in my Dtoes
But it's Aonly five more Amiles to Mary BmAnneBm  
It's Aonly five more Amiles to Mary DAnneD  
[Verse 3]
That wind's Dhowlin' and it D7seems mighty Glike a woman's Dscreams
So we'd bDest be movin' fDaster if we cAanA  
Dan just Dthink about that D7barn with that Ghay so soft and Dwarm
It's Aonly three more Amiles to Mary BmAnneBm  
It's Aonly three more Amiles to Mary DAnneD  
[Verse 4]
Dan get Dup your ornery D7cuss or you'll Gbe the death of Dus
I'm so Dweary but I'll Dhelp you if I AcanA  
All right DDan perhaps it's D7best that we'll Gstop awhile and Drest
For it's Astill A hundred Ayards to Mary BmAnneBm  
It's Astill a hundred Ayards to Mary DAnneD  
[Verse 5]
Late that Dnight the storm was D7gone and they Gfound him there at Ddawn
He had Dmade it but he Dcouldn't leave ol' ADanA  
Yes they Dfound him there on the D7plains his hands Gfroze to the Dreins
He was Ajust a hundred yAards from Mary BmAnneBm  
He was Ajust a hundred yAards from Mary DAnneD
