BB             F#F#
One ten year old was found after three weeks
   G# minorG#m             D#D#
In a snowdrift ten feet from his door
E MajorE             BB          F#F#
Some fell asleep in their cars and awakened no more

BB       F#F#
25 people died shoveling snow
     G# minorG#m         D#D#
Have that done by somebody you hate
E MajorE  BB           F#F#
166 looters arrested, but wait

Chorus:
BB            F#F#
I spent the blizzard of '78
   G# minorG#m         D#D#
On a commune in Northern Vermont
   E MajorE        BB         F#F#
With all the Isaac Asimov anybody could want

Verse:
BB          F#F#
Music was very much not allowed
     G# minorG#m              D#D#
So we we said "Hey kids, let's start a band"
E MajorE
Proof that Ganesh loves us
BB             F#F#
There was no tape deck at hand
  BB               F#F#
The first band I'd had was called "One and a Half"
     G# minorG#m     D#D#
We were a duo, technically
   E MajorE           BB
So if Tonto's Expanding Head Band was a band
    F#F#
So were we

Chorus:
BB            F#F#
I spent the blizzard of '78
   G# minorG#m         D#D#
On a commune in Northern Vermont
   E MajorE         BB         F#F#
With all the Ursula Le Guin anybody could want

Verse:
BB        F#F#
I played guitar, Chris played tin cans
G# minorG#m          D#D#
Caroline played tambourine
E MajorE         BB           F#F#
Chris was eleven, Caroline twelve, I thirteen
BB               F#F#
We called ourselves "the Black Widows"
G# minorG#m             D#D#
We weren't the last nor the first
  E MajorE           BB       F#F#
But we were almost certainly by far the worst
BB              F#F#
We made the Cramps sound orchestral
G# minorG#m           D#D#
That's an achievement, I guess
E MajorE
As for rehearsal
BB               F#F#
We made the Shaggs sound like Yes

Chorus:
BB            F#F#
I spent the blizzard of '78
   G# minorG#m         D#D#
On a commune in Northern Vermont
   E MajorE         BB        F#F#
With all the Roger Zelazny anybody could want
    BB  F#F#  G# minorG#m  D#D#  E MajorE  BB  F#F#  BB
It was hell
