One ten year old was found after three weeks
     G#m                         D#
In a snowdrift ten feet from his door

With all the Isaac Asimov anybody could want

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

Chorus:
B                       F#
I spent the blizzard of '78
     G#m                 D#
On a commune in Northern Vermont

Caroline played tambourine

We called ourselves "the Black Widows"
G#m                         D#
We weren't the last nor the first
   E                      B             F#
But we were almost certainly by far the worst
B                           F#
We made the Cramps sound orchestral
G#m                      D#
That's an achievement, I guess
E
As for rehearsal
B                             F#
We made the Shaggs sound like Yes

B                       F#
I spent the blizzard of '78
     G#m                 D#
On a commune in Northern Vermont
