            Am
She's long gone
Where is Mary?
She's taken her along                             
But they haven't put their mittens on
             G                     Am
And there's fifteen feet of pure white snow?

       G                          Am
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow
            G
Would you please put down that telephone
                                        Am
We're under fifteen feet of pure white snow

Am
I waved to my neighbour
                         Riff1
My neighbour waved to me
But my neighbour
            Riff1
Is my enemy
I kept waving my arms
Till I could not see
       G                          Am
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow

Is anybody
                  Riff1
Out there please?
It's too quiet in here
                            Riff1
And l'm beginning to freeze
I've got icicles hanging
From my knees
       G                           Am
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow
         G
Is there anybody here who feels this low?
                                   Am
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow
 
G
Raise your hands up to the sky
Raise your hands up to the sky
(G7)
Raise your hands up to the sky
Is it any wonder?
       Am         F
Oh my Lord Oh my Lord
       Am         F    G  Am
Oh my Lord Oh my Lord

Doctor, Doctor
l'm going mad
This is the worst day
I've ever had
I can't remember
Ever feallng this bad
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow

Where's my nurse
I need some heallng
I've been paralysed
By a lack of feeling
I can't even find
Anything worth steallng
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow

ls there anyone else here who doesn't know?
We're under fifteen feet of pure white snow

Raise your hands up to the sky
Is it any wonder?
Oh my Lord Oh my Lord
Save Yourself! Help Yourself!
