Cooksferry Queen Chords by Richard Thompson

[F] _ Well, there's a house in an alley in the squats and low rise
_ [Am] of a town
with [C] no future
_ [D] But that's where my future [Bb] _ lies
[F] It's a secret, but no secret
_ It's a rule
But no rule _ [C] where you find the darkest Avenue
_ [D] You'll find the brightest [Bb] jewel
[F] Now _ _ _ my [Bb] name
[F] It is Mulvaney
And I'm known quite famously _
[C] People speak my name in whispers
[D] What high praise [Bb] can that be? _
[F] But I trade my fine mohawk
for tight dyes and faded jeans
_ [C] She wanted me some other way
[D] She's my cooks, she's [F] very [Bb] cool
She [F] gave me one pill to get bigger
She gave me one pill to get small
I saw snakes dancing all around the feet
and dead men coming to the wall
_ [Dm] Well, I'm the _ prince [F] of this parish
I've been [Dm] ruthless and [F] I've been mean
She [Dm] blew my [F] mind and she opened my eyes
[Dm] She's my _ cook's [Bb] fairy queen
_ _ _ _ _ [F] Well, _

_ _ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] _ [F] _ _
_ [Bb] she's got every _ _ reperfection
[E] [G] All her looks beyond compare
She's [C] got dresses that seem to pull lords in the wind
[D] Pretty rifle-like curls [Bb] in her hair
_ She could [F] get the lanes walking
[F] She could get the blinds to see
[Bb] _ She could [F] make wine out of Thames River [Bb] water
She could [Dm] make a leaf around [Bb] me
_ Yes, [F] I'd trade it all tomorrow
All the wicked things I've been
She's [C] my bright jewel of the island
She's [Bb] my cook's fairy queen
Yes, [F] I'd trade it all tomorrow
_ All the wicked things I've been
_ [C] She's my bright jewel of the island
She's [D] my cook's fairy [Bb] _
_ queen _ _ _ _ _
