Tuning: Standard Capo 3 Intro: D VERSE 1
DIf grandpa was alive right now
G A DThere ain't no tellin' what he'd have to say
D GWhy he had fifteen wives all living with him

GAnd though I've just got two now mama
G DThat's enough to keep me satisfied
A GI haven't had a son yet but the good Lord knows
A DThe three of us have tried
CHORUS
A G'Cause the Pennsylvania Dutch
A DThat we once spoke has been forgotten
G D AAnd the Mormon way of life is almost gone
G A D A GBut now and then we gather down in Salt Lake City
G A GTo raise our voices in a joyful song

DNo, ma'am, I did not go to see
G A DThe Reverend Brigham Young while I was there
D GBut I'm sure glad to know you wanted him

GI hope he did not preach about the young folks
G DThat refused to make the change
A G'Cause if he did I'm sure I got a little more
A DThan my share of the blame
CHORUS
A G'Cause the Pennsylvania Dutch
A DThat we once spoke has been forgotten
