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:     |  D5        |  A5        |  D(stop)       |  N/C/


CHORUS:
           |  D5                |                |               | 
          Daddy Frank played the guitar and the french harp,
           |                   |               |  A5         | 
          Sister played the ringing tambourine.
           |               |                 |            | 
          Mama couldn't hear our pretty music,
               |                   |                   |  D5            | 
          She read our lips and helped the family sing.
               D5
          That little band was all a part of living,
                                              A5
          And our only means of living at the time;

          And it wasn't like no normal family combo,
                                               D5
          Cause Daddy Frank the guitar man was blind.


 |  G5              |                 |  D5           | 
Frank and mama counted on each other;
       |  G5            |                    |  B5           | 
Their one and only weakness made them strong.
 |  G5            |                 |  D5            | 
Mama did the driving for the family,
     |  B5           |               |  A5            | 
And Frank made a living with a song.


 |  G5               |                |  D5            | 
Home was just a camp along the highway;
   |  G5               |                 |  B5           | 
A pick-up bed was where we bedded down.
       |  G5           |              |  D5            | 
Don't ever once remember going hungry,
        |  D5      G5     |  D5      A5       |  D5         |  D5
