[Intro] | D | D | Em | Em | G | G | [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
[Instrumental] | G | G | C | G | | G | G | D | D | | G | G | C | G | | D | D | Em | Em | | D | D | G | G | [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
