Heavenly Father Holy Mother


3 

Capo 3 

Intro: D 

verse 1 

D 
If grandpa was alive right now 
G                      A                 D 
There ain't no tellin' what he'd have to say 
D                                   G 
Why he had fifteen wives all living with him 
        A               D 
When he finally passed away 
    G 
And though I've just got two now mama 
G                             D 
That's enough to keep me satisfied 
  A                             G 
I haven't had a son yet but the good Lord knows 
    A                D 
The three of us have tried 



           A            G 
'Cause the Pennsylvania Dutch 
             A              D 
That we once spoke has been forgotten 
        G             D              A 
And the Mormon way of life is almost gone 
    G               A              D    A    G 
But now and then we gather down in Salt Lake City 
   G                A           G 
To raise our voices in a joyful song 
            D                G     D 
And we sing: Heavenly Father, Holy Mother 
                                     A 
Keeper of our children tiller of the land 
D                   G               D 
Take us to the river in a horse and buggy 
                              A        D 
Give us our salvation help us make our stand 


verse 2 

D 
No, ma'am, I did not go to see 
G                    A                 D 
The Reverend Brigham Young while I was there 
    D                                G 
But I'm sure glad to know you wanted him 
           A            D 
To mention my name in a prayer 
  G 
I hope he did not preach about the young folks 
       G                 D 
That refused to make the change 
       A                          G 
'Cause if he did I'm sure I got a little more 
     A               D 
Than my share of the blame 



           A            G 
'Cause the Pennsylvania Dutch 
             A              D 
That we once spoke has been forgotten 
        G             D              A 
And the Mormon way of life is almost gone 
    G               A              D    A    G 
But now and then we gather down in Salt Lake City 
   G                A           G 
To raise our voices in a joyful song 
            D                G     D 
And we sing: Heavenly Father, Holy Mother 
                                     A 
Keeper of our children tiller of the land 
D                   G               D 
Take us to the river in a horse and buggy 
                              A        D 
Give us our salvation help us make our stand
