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! -D-35player | 1/18/2006 | 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. -tpmadden | 5/6/2009 | 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. -cwrote | 5/3/2010 |
