verse 1 
B                          F# 
One ten year old was found after three weeks 
     G#m                         D# 
In a snowdrift ten feet from his door 
G#m                       B                    F# 
Some fell asleep in their cars and awakened no more 

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


B                       F# 
I spent the blizzard of '78 
     G#m                    D# 
On a commune in Northern Vermont 
     G#m              B                 F# 
With all the Isaac Asimov anybody could want 


verse 2 
B                   F# 
Music was very much not allowed 
         G#m                           D# 
So we we said "Hey kids, let's start a band" 
G#m 
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 
      G#m                    B 
So if Tonto's Expanding Head Band was a band 
        F# 
So were we 


B                        F# 
I spent the blizzard of '78 
     G#m                    D# 
On a commune in Northern Vermont 
     G#m               B                   F# 
With all the Ursula Le Guin any body could want 


verse 3 
B                F# 
I played guitar, Chris played tin cans 
G#m             D# 
Caroline played tambourine 
G#m           B               F# 
Chris was 11, Caroline 12, I 13 

B                              F# 
We called ourselves "the Black Widows" 
G#m                         D# 
We weren't the last nor the first 
G#m                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 
G#m 
As for rehearsal 
B                             D# 
We made the Shaggs sound like Yes 

 
B                        F# 
I spent the blizzard of '78 
     G#m                    D# 
On a commune in Northern Vermont 
     G#m                B                F# 
With all the Roger Zelazny anybody could want
