Cooksferry Queen Chords by Richard Thompson

[F] _ _ Well, there's a house in an alley in the squats and low rise
Of a [C] town with 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
Where [C] you find the darkest _ avenue, [D] you'll find the brightest [Bbm] [F] jewel
Now _ _ _ my [F] name, it is Mulvaney, and I'm known quite famously
_ [C] But I speak my name in whispers, [D] what higher praise can [Bb] that be?
But I [F] trade my fine _ mohair for tight dyes and faded jeans
She [C] _ wanted me some other way, [D] she's my cook's [F] fairy [Bb]
queen
She [F] gave me one pill to get better, she gave me one pill to get small
I saw snakes dancing all around the feet, and dead men coming to the wall
Well, [Dm] I'm the prince of [F] this parish, _ [Dm] I've been ruthless and I've [F] been [Bb] mean
_ [Dm] She blew my mind [F] and she opened my eyes, [Dm] she's my cook's fairy [Bb]
queen

Well, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _
_ [Bb] she's got every ray of perfection, _ [E] all [G] her looks beyond compare
She's [E] [C] got dresses that seem to float in the wind, [D] she ruffle like [C] curls in [Bb] her hair
She could [F] get the ladies [Bb] walking, [F] she could get the blinds to see
_ She could make wine out of Thames river water, [D] she could make a believer [Bb] out of me
_ Yes, I'd [F] trade it all tomorrow, _ oh yeah, _ things are mean
She's [C] my bright jewel of the island, _ [Dm] she's my cook's [Bb] fairy queen
_ [F] Yes, I'd trade it all tomorrow, _ oh yeah, things are mean
She's [C] my bright jewel of the island, she's my [D] _ cook's [Bb] fairy queen _ _ _ _ _ _
