Daddy Frank
Recorded by Merle Haggard

 C 
Daddy Frank played the guitar and the French harp
                                 G7 
Sister played the ringing tambourine

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


That little band was all a part of living
                                     G7 
And our only means of living at the time

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

 F                                C 
Frank and mama counted on each other
 F                                       C 
Their one and only weakness made them strong
 F                              C 
Mama did the driving for the family
 D7                               G7 
And Frank made a living with a song

 F                                C 
Home was just a camp along the highway
 F                                   C 
 A  pick-up bed was where we bedded down
 F                                C 
Don't ever once remember going hungry
       F          C      G7               C 
But I remember mama cooking on the ground

Repeat #1 & 2

 F                               C 
Don't remember how they got acquainted
   F                                  C 
I can't recall just how it came to be
       F                                  C 
There had to be some special help from someone
     D7                               G7 
And blessed be the one that let it be

 F                                C 
Fever caused my mama's loss of hearing
 F                                  C 
Daddy Frank was born without his sight
 F                                   C 
And mama needed someone she could lean on
     F               C        G7        C 
And I believe the guitar man was right

Repeat #1 & 2
