Daddy Frank Chords

(ver. 1)
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

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
