Subject: RE: Chord Req: A Chat With Your Mother (The F-Word Son
I've seen the two Berrymans in concert, and I enjoy their music. This song, the F-Word, is one of my favorites, and for two reasons.

The first reason is that it shows off the incredible vocabulary of English, making me stop and think about where all these words came from:

tattoo
blunderbuss
fetid
skivvies
walkie-talky
Gucci bandalieros

The second reason is that I enjoy loading the emotion into the last verse

With their groupies and addictions and their
BROKEN-HEARTED PARENTS...

and you know that the mother herself is the broken-parent, and the musician is her own kid (who's not that bad really. One of us, probably.)
