INTRO: | D | A | D[stop] | [NC]
CHORUS RE
Daddy Frank played the guitar and the french harp,
LA
Sister played the ringing tambourine.
Mama couldn't hear our pretty music,
RE
She read our lips and helped the family sing.
That [D]little band was all a part of living,
And our only means of living at the [A]time;
And it wasn't like no normal family combo,
Cause Daddy Frank the guitar man was [D]blind.
SOL RE
Frank and mama counted on each other;
SOL SIm
Their one and only weakness made them strong.
SOL RE
Mama did the driving for the family,
SIm LA
And Frank made a living with a song.
SOL RE
Home was just a camp along the highway;
SOL SIm
A pick-up bed was where we bedded down.
SOL RE
Don't ever once remember going hungry,
RE SOL RE LA RE RE RE SOL RE LA RE SIb
Thanks to whoever posted the lyrics for this song to COWPIE.
