[Verse]
B                          F#
One ten year old was found after three weeks
     G#m                         D#
In a snowdrift ten feet from his door
E                         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
E   B                     F#
166 looters arrested, but wait

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

[Verse]
B                F#
I played guitar, Chris played tin cans
G#m                   D#
Caroline played tambourine
E                 B                      F#
Chris was eleven, Caroline twelve, I thirteen
B                              F#
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

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