SPOKEN INTRO [no music]: Let me tell you about a song that I feel explains itself. It's called: "Daddy Frank, the Guitar Man."
INTRO: | D | A | D[stop] | [NC]
CHORUS: |D | | | Daddy Frank played the guitar and the french harp, | | |A | Sister played the ringing tambourine. | | | | Mama couldn't hear our pretty music, | | |D | She read our lips and helped the family sing.
That [D]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.
|G | |D | Frank and mama counted on each other; |G | |Bm | Their one and only weakness made them strong. |G | |D | Mama did the driving for the family, |Bm | |A | And Frank made a living with a song.
|G | |D | Home was just a camp along the highway; |G | |Bm | A pick-up bed was where we bedded down. |G | |D | Don't ever once remember going hungry,
