daddy frank Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Daddy Frank played the guitar
and the french harp
Sister played the ringing tambour[A]ine
And mama couldn't hear our pretty music
But she read our lips and
helped the family [D]sing
That little band was all a part of living
And our only means of living at [A]the time
And it wasn't like no normal
family combo
'Cause Daddy Frank
the guitar man [D]was blind

[Verse 2]
[Bm]Frank and Mama counted on each [D]other
Their [Bm]one and only weakness
made [D]them strong
[G]Mama did the driving for [D]the family
And [E]Frank made a living
with [A]his song[F#m]
[Bm]Home was just a camp
along [D]the highway
[Bm]Pickup bed is where we bedded [D]down
Don't [G]ever once remember going [D]hungry
But I remember [G]Mama cook
[D]ing [A]on [D]the ground

[Verse 3]
Daddy [D]Frank played the guitar
and the french harp
Sister played the ringing tambour[A]ine
Mama couldn't hear the pretty music
But she read our lips and
helped the family [D]sing
That little band was all a part of living
And our only means of living at [A]the time
And it wasn't like no normal
family combo
'Cause Daddy Frank the
guitar man was [D]blind

[Verse 4]
[Bm]Don't remember how they
got acquain[D]ted
I can[Bm]'t recall just how it came to[D] be
There [G]had to be some special
help [D]from someone
And [E]blessed be the one
who let it [A]be[F#m]
[Bm]Fever caused my Mama's
loss of [D]hearing
[Bm]Daddy Frank was born without his [D]sight
And [G]Mama needed someone
she could [D]lean on
And I be[G]lieve the [D]guitar
[A]man was [D]right[Bb]

[Verse 5]
Daddy [Eb]Frank played the guitar
and the french harp
Sister played the ringing tambour[Bb]ine
Mama couldn't hear our pretty music
But she read our lips and
helped the family [Eb]sing
That little band was all a part of living
And our only means of living at [Bb]the time
And it wasn't like no normal
family combo
'Cause Daddy Frank the guitar man was blind
