Daddy Frank

      | D              |           
Daddy Frank played the guitar and 
   |             |
the french harp,
|                 |        
Sister played the ringing 
     | A      |
tambourine.
|             |               |     
     |
Mama couldn't hear our pretty music,
    |                 |            
She read our lips and helped the 
     | D         |
family sing.

     D
That little band was all a part of 
living,
And our only means of living at the 
A
time;
And it wasn't like no normal family 
combo,
Cause Daddy Frank the guitar man was
 D
 blind.

[Verse]

| Bm           |               
Frank and mama counted on each 
| D         |
other;
      | Bm          |             
Their one and only weakness made 
     | D         |
them strong.
| G          |               | D    
Mama did the driving for the family,
      |

    | E        |             | A     
And Frank made a living with a song.
     |


| Bm            |              
Home was just a camp along the 
| D          |
highway;
  | Bm             |               
A pick-up bed was where we bedded 
| D      |
down.

      | G         |            |
Don't ever once remember going 
 D          |
hungry,
       | D      G   | D      A     |
 D      | D       (1 strum per 
letter)
But I remember mama cooking on the 
ground.

[Chorus]

      | D              |           
Daddy Frank played the guitar and 
   |             |
the french harp,
|                 |        
Sister played the ringing 
     | A     |
tambourine.

[Verse]
G                         
Don't remember how they got 
    D
acquainted;
  G                                
I can't recall just how it came to 
Bm
be.
      G                          
There had to be some special help 
      D
from someone,
    Bm                             
And blessed be the one that let it 
A
be.

G                            
Fever caused my mama's loss of 
  D
hearing.
G                                
Daddy Frank was born without his 
Bm
sight.
G                                 
And mama needed someone she could 
D
lean on,
    | D  G        | D     A      | D
       |Bb    (change key)
And I believe the guitar man was 
right.
