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

Bm                                                 D
Frank and mama counted on each other
Bm                                                           D
Their one and only weakness made them strong
G                                            D
Mama did the driving for the family,
E                                                  A
And Frank made a living with a song

Bm                                               D
Home was just a camp along the highway
Bm                                                     D
A pick-up bed was where we bedded down
G                                                    D
Don't ever once remember going hungry,
              D            G        D           A          D 
But I remember mama cooking on the ground

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

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

Eb
Daddy Frank played the guitar and the french harp,
                                              Bb
Sister played the ringing tambourine

Mama couldn't hear our pretty music,
                                                  F
She read our lips and helped the family sing

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