Chord/Tab song: Daddy Frank

Daddy Frank play[C]ed the guitar and the French harp

Sister played the ringing tambou[G7]rine

Mama couldn't hear our pretty music

She read our lips and helped the family [C]sing


That little band was all a part of living

And our only means of living at the [G7]time

And it wasn't like no normal family combo

Cause Daddy Frank the guitar man was [C]blind

[F]Frank and mama counted on each [C]other

[F]Their one and only weakness made them [C]strong

[F]Mama did the driving for the [C]family

[D7]And Frank made a living with a [G7]song

[F]Home was just a camp along the [C]highway

[F]A pick-up bed was where we bedded [C]down

[F]Don't ever once remember going [C]hungry

But I [F]remember [C]mama [G7]cooking on the [C]ground

[C]Daddy Frank played the guitar and the French harp

Sister played the ringing tambou[G7]rine

Mama couldn't hear our pretty music

She read our lips and helped the family [C]sing


That little band was all a part of living

And our only means of living at the [G7]time

And it wasn't like no normal family combo

Cause Daddy Frank the guitar man was [C]blind

[F]Don't remember how they got ac[C]quainted

I [F]can't recall just how it came to [C]be

There [F]had to be some special help from [C]someone

And [D7]blessed be the one that let it [G7]be

[F]Fever caused my mama's loss of [C]hearing

[F]Daddy Frank was born without his [C]sight

[F]And mama needed someone she could [C]lean on

And [F]I believe the [C]guitar [G7]man was [C]right

[C]Daddy Frank played the guitar and the French harp

Sister played the ringing tambou[G7]rine

Mama couldn't hear our pretty music

She read our lips and helped the family [C]sing


That little band was all a part of living

And our only means of living at the [G7]time

And it wasn't like no normal family combo

Cause Daddy Frank the guitar man was [C]blind
