Let me tell you about a song that I feel explains itself.
It's [D] called Daddy Frank the guitar man
Daddy Frank played the guitar and the French harp
Sister played the ringin tambourine
[A] And mama couldn't hear our pretty music, but she read our lips and helped the family [D] sing
That little band was all a part of living and our only means of living at [A] the time
And it wasn't like no normal family combo
Whose daddy Frank the guitar man [D] was black
[Bm] Frank and mama counted on [D] each other
[Bm] Their one and only weakness made [D] him strong
[G] Mama did the driving for [D] the family
[E] And Frank made a living with [A] a song
[Gbm] [Bm] Home was just a camp along [D] the highway
[B] Bigger bed [Bm] was where we bedded [D] down
[G] Don't ever once remember going [D] hungry

[Bm] I can't recall just how it came [D] to be
But [G] there had to be some special help [D] from someone
[E] And blessed be the one who let [A] it be

And I believe the guitar man was right
