Cooksferry Queen by Richard Thompson Cooksferry Queen Richard Thompson Capo at 3rd Fret See Below D Well there's a house in an alley In the squats and low-rise A Of a town with no future Bm G But that's where my future lies D It's a secret, but no secret It's a rule, but no rule Where you find the darkest avenue There you'll find the brightest jewel D (hammer on G) Now my name it is Mulvaney And I'm known quite famously A People speak my name in whispers Bm What higher praise can there be?! D (hammer on G) But I'd trade my fine mohair For tied-dyes and faded jeans A If she wanted me some other way Bm G She's my Cooksferry Queen D (hammer on G) She gave me one pill to get bigger D (hammer on G) She gave me one pill to get small D (hammer on G) I saw snakes dancing all around her feet D (hammer on G) And Dead men coming throught the wall Bm D (hammer on G) Well I'm the prince of this parish Bm D (hammer on G) I've been ruthless and I've been mean Bm D But she blew my mind as she opened my eyes Bm G She's my Cooksferry Queen Yeaaaaah Well she's got every rare perfection All her looks beyond compare She's got dresses that seem to float in the wind Pre-Raphaelite curls in her hair She could get the lame to walking She could get the blind to see She could make wine out of Thames river water She could make a believer out of me Yes I'd trade it all tomorrow All the wicked things I've been She's my bright jewel of the alley She's my Cooksferry Queen Yes I'd trade it all tomorrow All the wicked things I've been She's my bright jewel of the alley She's my Cooksferry Queen www.TAB6.com
