I think Mick covered this as part of an art project for a university or college.
I also seem to remember, he wanted to cover a Tom Waits tune, but someone else
had beat him to it. So it was this or a Van Morrison tune, and he could remember
the words to this.
Here's a link in case you want to hear it for yourself.

Also you will notice Mr. Flannery plays it with his guitar tuned ** DOWN A HALF STEP **
Instead of all that fiddling around, I put a ** CAPO on the FIRST FRET **
C = X32010 F = 133211
C/B = X20010 G = 320001
C/G = 302210 Am = X02210
IS YOUR LOVE IN VAIN
*** CAPO 1st FRET ***
C C/B Am C/G F G
Do you love me, Or are you just extending goodwill
C C/B Am C/G F G
Do you need me half as bad as you say, Or are you just feeling guilt
Am G F C F G
I've been burned before, An' I know the score, So you won't hear me complain
C C/B Am C/G F G C
Will I be able to count on you, Or is your love in vain
C C/B Am C/G F G C
Are you so fast that you cannot see, That I must have solitude
C C/B Am C/G F G
When I am in the darkness, Why do you intrude
Am G F C F G
Do you know my world, Do you know my kind, Or must I explain
C C/B Am C/G F G C
Ahh, Will you let me be myself, Or is your love in vain
F G C Am
Well I've been to the mountain and I've been in the wind
F G C
I've been in and out of happiness
F G C Am
I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings
F G
And I've never been too impressed
C C/B Am C/G F G C
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
C C/B Am C/G F G
If I'm a fool you can have the night, You can have the morning too
Am G F C F G
An' did you cook and sew, And your flowers grow, Do you understand my pain
C C/B Am C/G F G C
Are you willing to risk it all, Or is your love in vain
