Key of D 99-87
[Chorus]
DDaddy Frank played the guitar and the french harp
DSister played the ringing Atambourine
AAnd mama couldn't hear our pretty music
ABut she read our lips and helped the family Dsing
DThat little band was all a part of living
DAnd our only means of living at the Atime
AAnd it wasn't like no normal family combo
A'Cause Daddy Frank the guitar man was Dblind
[Verse]
BmFrank and Mama counted on each Dother
DTheir Bmone and only weakness made them Astrong
GMama did the driving for the Dfamily
DAnd EFrank made a living with his Asong
BmHome was just a camp along the Dhighway
BmPickup bed is where we bedded Adown
ADon't Gever once remember going Dhungry
DBut I remember GMama Dcooking Aon the Dground
[Chorus]
DDaddy Frank played the guitar and the french harp
DSister played the ringing Atambourine
AMama couldn't hear the pretty music
ABut she read our lips and helped the family Dsing
DThat little band was all a part of living
DAnd our only means of living at the Atime
AAnd it wasn't like no normal family combo
A'Cause Daddy Frank the guitar man was Dblind
[Verse]
DDon't Bmremember how they got Dacquainted
DI Bmcan't recall just how it came to Abe
AThere Ghad to be some special help from Dsomeone
DAnd Eblessed be the one who let it Abe
BmFever caused my Mama's loss of Dhearing
BmDaddy Frank was born without his Asight
AAnd GMama needed someone she could Dlean on
DAnd I beGlieve the Dguitar Aman was Dright
[Chorus]
DDaddy Frank played the guitar and the french harp
DSister played the ringing tamboAurine
AMama couldn't hear our pretty music
ABut she read our lips and helped the family Dsing
DThat little band was all a part of living
DAnd our only means of living at the Atime
AAnd it wasn't like no normal family combo
A'Cause Daddy Frank the guitar man was Dblind
