[Verse 1]
D
Well there's a house in an alley
D
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
D
It's a rule, but no rule
A
Where you find the darkest avenue
Bm G
There you'll find the brightest jewel
[Verse 2]
D
Now my name it is Mulvaney
D
And I'm known quite famously
A
People speak my name in whispers
Bm G
What higher praise can there be?
D
But I'd trade my fine mohair
D
For tied-dyes and faded jeans
A
If she wanted me some other way
Bm G
She's my Cooksferry Queen
[Verse 3]
D
She gave me one pill to get bigger
D
She gave me one pill to get small
D
I saw snakes dancing all around her feet
D
And Dead men coming throught the wall
Bm D
Well I'm the prince of this parish
Bm D
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
[Solo]
D D D D
Yeah
D D D D x7
[Verse 4]
D D D D
Well she's got every rare perfection
D D D D
All her looks beyond compare
A
She's got dresses that seem to float in the wind
