[C] Welcome the Richard Thompson van
[Gm]
[G]
[C]
Well, there's [F] a house
in an alley
in the squad
San Laura's
their [C] town
with no future
[Dm] But that's where my [F] future [Bb] lies
[F] Secret but no secret
It's a rule but no rule
Where you [C] find the dark cast avenue
[D] You'll find [F] the brightest jewel
Now my name it says Mulvaney
And I'm known quite famously
To [C] go speak my name in [C] whispers
What [D] high praise can that [Bb] be?
[F] But I trade my fine mohawk
If I die
some faded jeans
She [C] wanted me some other way.
She's [D] my cook's fairy [Bb] queen
She gave [F] me one
To get bigger.
She gave me one
to get some more
I saw snakes
Dancing all around the feet
And dead men coming through the wall
Well, [D] I'm the prince of [F] this parish
[Dm] I've been ruthless and [F] I've been mean
[Dm] But she grew my mind [F] and she opened my eyes.
[D] She's my cook's [F] fairy queen
[C] [F]
She got every
Perfection
All looks beyond compare
[C] She got dresses that seem to float in the wind
[D] Pretty rifle like curls [Bb] in her hair
But [F] she could catch the lame to walk [Bb] in
[F] She could catch the blind to see
She could make wine out of timber of a water
She [D] could make a [Bb] believer out of me
Yes, [F] I'd trade it all tomorrow
All the wicked things I've been
[C] She's my bright jewel of the alley
She's [D] my cook's fairy [Bb] queen
Yes, [C] I'd trade it all tomorrow
All the wicked things I've been
She's my bright jewel of the alley
She's [D] my [Bb] cook's fairy queen
