1]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]\r\nBrigham Young was a Mormon bold,[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]E[/ch]\r\nAnd the leader of the roaring ram,[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]A[/ch]               [ch]E[/ch]                 [ch]A[/ch]\r\nAnd the shepherd of the flock of fine tub sheep[/tab]\r\n[tab]                [ch]E[/ch]\r\nAnd a passel of pretty little lambs;[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse 2]\r\n[tab][ch]E[/ch]\r\nAnd he lived with his five and forty wives[/tab]\r\n\r\nIn the city of the Great Salt Lake,\r\n[tab]                                [ch]D[/ch]\r\nWhere they breed and swarm like hens on a farm[/tab]\r\n[tab]                [ch]E[/ch]          [ch]A[/ch]\r\nAnd cackle like ducks to a drake.[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]\r\nBrigham, Brigham Young,[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]E[/ch]                    [ch]A[/ch]\r\nIt's a miracle he survives,[/tab]\r\n[tab]                 [ch]E[/ch]                           [ch]D[/ch]\r\nWith his roaring rams, and his pretty little lambs[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]E[/ch]        [ch]A[/ch]           [ch]A[/ch]\r\nAnd his five and forty wives.[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse 3]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]\r\nNumber forty-five's about sixteen,[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]             [ch]E[/ch]\r\nNumber one is sixty and three,[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]\r\nAnd among such a riot how he ever keeps 'em quiet[/tab]\r\n[tab]               [ch]E[/ch]\r\nIs a downright mystery ' to me,[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse 4]\r\n[tab][ch]E[/ch]                                 [ch]A[/ch]\r\nFor they cackle and claw and they jaw, jaw, jaw,[/tab]\r\n[tab]               [ch]E[/ch]\r\nEach one has a different desire,[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]                [ch]E[/ch]\r\nIt would aid the renown of the best shop in town[/tab]\r\n[tab]                              [ch]A[/ch]\r\nTo supply them with half they require.[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]\r\nBrigham, Brigham Young,[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]E[/ch]                    [ch]A[/ch]\r\nIt's a miracle he survives,[/tab]\r\n[tab]

forty wives.[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse 5]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]\r\nBrigham Young was a stout man once,[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]E[/ch]\r\nBut now he is thin and old,[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]\r\nAnd I'm sorry to relate, there's no hair upon his pate,[/tab]\r\n[tab]                     [ch]E[/ch]\r\nWhere he once wore a covering of gold.[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse 6]\r\n[tab][ch]E[/ch]\r\nFor his oldest wife won't wear white wool,[/tab]\r\n\r\nThe young ones won't take red,\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]\r\nAnd in tearing it out and taking turn about,[/tab]\r\n[tab]                       [ch]E[/ch]\r\nThey have torn all the wool from his head.[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]\r\nBrigham, Brigham Young,[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]E[/ch]                    [ch]A[/ch]\r\nIt's a miracle he survives,[/tab]\r\n[tab]

                         [ch]D[/ch]\r\nAnd among such a crowd he had it pretty loud,[/tab]\r\n[tab]                    [ch]E[/ch]\r\nThey're as noisy as Chinese gongs.[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse

alarms,[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]A[/ch]                         [ch]E[/ch]\r\nFor they're sure to spend the night in a tabernacle fight[/tab]\r\n[tab]                           [ch]A[/ch]\r\nTo see who has the fairest charms.[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]\r\nBrigham, Brigham Young,[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]E[/ch]                    [ch]A[/ch]\r\nIt's a miracle he survives,[/tab]\r\n[tab]
