NOTE*-capo 1rst fret

CHORUS:         
  
      D                                          
Daddy Frank played the guitar and the french harp
                                A        
Sister played the ringing tambourine
A
Mama couldnt hear our pretty music
        A                                   D
but she read our lips and helped the family sing
          
     D
That little band was all a part of livin'
        D                           A
and our only means of living at the time
       A
and it wasn't like no normal family combo
      A                              D
cause daddy frank the guitar man was blind


Bm                             D    
Frank and mama counted on each other
      Bm                              D
Their one and only weakness made them strong
G                            D
Mama did the driving for the family
    E7                         A
And Frank made a living with a song
Bm                             D
Home was just a camp along the highway
Bm                                D
A pick-up bed was where we bedded down
G                              D
Don't ever once remember going hungry
    D      G    D       A      D    
I remember mama cooking on the ground          


repeat chorus

Bm 	  	  	       D
Don't remember how they got acquainted
Bm 	  	  	            D
I can't recall just how it came to be
G                                          D
But there had to be some special help from someone
E                                  A
And blessed be the one that let it be
B                              D
Fever caused my mama's loss of hearing
Bm                               D
Daddy Frank was born without his sight
G                                 D
And mama needed someone she could lean on
    D   	 G            D     A          D        
And I believe the guitar man was right        

Key change  1/2 step 

Repeat chorus

My first tab......sry bout the chords not lining up in some places...it was my first try. However all the chords are right and it is capo'd 1 fret. let me kno if you disagee with anything or if someone would like the tab for the licks merle uses in between chord changes just let me know
Enjoy!

If you know the licks, by all means put them up (as a TAB) - I will
fix the alignment of the chords...

-lmofle | 1/18/2006
The problem was you used the TAB key - always use space bar.
-lmofle | 1/18/2006
You have a B chord in the 2nd verse. I may be wrong, but I think it should be a Bm.

When you say 1/2 step key change at the end, what key do you go to? New at this, love this song, any help would be appreciated.
