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.
D
That little band was all a part of living,
A
And our only means of living at the time;
And it wasn't like no normal family combo,
D
Cause Daddy Frank the guitar man was 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,
|D G |D A |D |D <-1 strum
But I remember mama cooking on the ground. per letter
