! Please Read The Instructions!
-The G-string is very important in this song. Mraz always strings the root
note and then the open G-String. But he also touches the other open strings ! But
this is very difficult to show in a tab. I recommend you to listen carefully to
this Version of the Song to figure out his strumming:
Enjoy, and please rate if you like it :) ...or comment if you find a mistake.

Frank D. Fixer was a handy man
He could handle everything, he was my granddad
He grew his own food and he could fix his own car
I watched it all happen, in our backyard

If Frank D. Fixer were alive today
Well he may laugh at me and he may have a lot to say
Well he might ask if I keep working for the family
To keep the bills all paid and be his protégé
