_ There's a blizzard coming on, _ [F] how I'm wishing _ [C] I was home.
Oh my pony's lame and he can't [G] hardly stand. _ _ _
Listen [C] to that northern sigh, _ [F] if we don't get home [C] we'll die.
But it's [G] only seven _ miles to [Am] _ Marianne. _ _ _
_ [C] It's [G] only seven miles to _ [C] Marianne. _ _ _
You can bet we're on her mind, _ [F] or it's nearly _ [C] supper time.
And I'll bet there's hot biscuits _ [G] in the pan. _ _ _ _
Lord, [C] my hands feel like they're froze, and [F] there's a numbness [Dm] in [C] my toes.
But it's [G] only five more miles to [Am] _ Marianne. _ _ _
_ [G] It's only five more miles to [Em] _ [C] Marianne. _ _ _
That wind's howling and it [Gm]
seems [Dm] mighty like a [C] woman's screams.
And we'd best be moving faster _ [G] if we can. _ _ _
Dan, [C] just think about that barn with [F] that hay so soft [C] and warm.
_ [G] For it's only three more miles to [Am] _ Marianne. _ _ _
_ [C] It's [G] only three more miles to [C] _ Marianne. _ _ _
_ _ Dan, get up, you [Gm] ornery cuss, _ [Bb] or you'll be [F] the death of us.
[C] _ _
I'm so weary, but _ _ I'll help you if I can.
[G] _ _ _ _ _
All right, Dan, [C] perhaps it's best that we stop a [F] while and rest.
_ _ [C] _ _
_ [G] For it's still a hundred yards to Marianne.
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] It's still a hundred _ yards to [C] _ Marianne. _ _ _
_ _ Late that night the [Gm] storm was gone, _ _ [Dm] and they found him there at [C] dawn. _
He'd have made it, but he just couldn't leave old Dan.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ Yes, they found him there [C] on the plains, his hands [Gm] froze to the rain.
[Bb] _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [G] He was just a hundred yards _ [Am] from Marianne. _ _ _ _
