Motherdust
By Bevis Frond
From the album
"A Gathering of Fronds"
Here is a great BF song with one of his cleverest lyrics, telling the tale of a
mother/son relationship in question/answer format. The tune is simple but
effective and fun to play. Just play the power/barre chords throughout.
A5 B5 G5 F5
Oh you are a horrid child
Weak as piss and running wild
Suspect eyes, a studied glare
Hollow gaze and tile-hung hair
Blame me not for the things I do
I speak in tongues I learned fom you
Never put your faith in trust
Just cover me with Motherdust
Oh you are a sight to see
Black sheep of the family
Hign on ego, sure to fall
A disappointment to us all
Do not lay your guilt on me
By hating what you wrong to me
For you and I result in us
Well cover me with Motherdust
Oh you are a foolish kid
If I'd have done the things you did
I never would have got this far
And you'd be wiser than you are
I have no manners to excuse
A privelege is to abuse
For what in life is fair and just?
Weel cover me with Motherdust
Oh you are a spiteful boy
Your sole concern is to annoy
The little lad I loved has gone
I wonder where I went so wrong
Impale me not on failure's spike
For we are very much alike
And people do what people must
Just cover me with Motherdust
For I'm your Child
I'm your Child
I'm your Child...

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BEVIS FROND tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
