[Verse 1]
D                         D7         G             D
There's a blizzard comin' on how I'm wishin' I was home
       D               D               A           A
For my pony's lame and he can't hardly stand
       D                D7         G                    D
Listen to that northern sigh if we don't get home we'll die
         A          A             Bm          Bm
But it's only seven miles to Mary Anne
     A          A             D            D
It's only seven miles to Mary Anne


[Verse 2]
        D                D7            G      D
You can bet we're on her mind for it's nearly Christmas time
         D               D               A         A
And I'll bet there's hot biscuits in the pan
        D                       D7                  G              D
Lord my hands feel like they're froze and there's a numbness in my toes
         A              A             Bm           Bm
But it's only five more miles to Mary Anne
     A              A             D            D
It's only five more miles to Mary Anne


[Verse 3]
            D              D7           G              D
That wind's howlin' and it seems mighty like a woman's screams
         D              D            A         A
So we'd best be movin' faster if we can
         D                D7             G               D
Dan just think about that barn with that hay so soft and warm
     A               A             Bm        Bm
It's only three more miles to Mary Anne
     A               A             D          D
It's only three more miles to Mary Anne


[Verse 4]
        D              D7             G               D
Dan get up your ornery cuss or you'll be the death of us
       D              D             A         A
I'm so weary but I'll help you if I can
          D                D7              G               D
All right Dan perhaps it's best that we'll stop awhile and rest
         A               A             Bm         Bm
For it's still A hundred yards to Mary Anne
     A               A             D           D
It's still a hundred yards to Mary Anne

          D                   D7            G                  D
Late that night the storm was gone and they found him there at dawn
       D              D                  A         A
He had made it but he couldn't leave ol' Dan
         D                      D7               G            D
Yes they found him there on the plains his hands froze to the reins
       A               A              Bm       Bm
He was just a hundred yards from Mary Anne
       A               A              D        D
He was just a hundred yards from Mary Anne
