 [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]
F[D]rank and mama counted on each other;
      |
 [G]
T[Bm]heir one and only weakness made them strong.
|
 [G]
M[D]ama did the driving for the family,
    |
 [Bm]
A[A]nd Frank made a living with a song.

|
 [G]
H[D]ome was just a camp along the highway;
  |
 [G]
A[Bm] pick-up bed was where we bedded down.
      |
 [G]
D[D]on't ever once remember going hungry,
       |

 [D]       [<-1 strum
But I remember mama cooking on the ground.            per letter]

[REPEAT CHORUS]

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

[G]Fever caused my mama's loss of [D]hearing.
[G]Daddy Frank was born without his [Bm]sight.
[G]And mama needed someone she could [D]lean on,

And I believe the guitar man was right.
