Use a muted drone on the D string.
[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

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 D D D D Pre-Raphaelite curls in her hair D D D D She could get the lame to walking D D D D She could get the blind to see D D D D She could make wine out of Thames river water Bm G She could make a believer out of me
