'Daddy Frank' by Merle Haggard - Guitar Tutorial

             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
