  Spring Heeled Jim

  	(Morrissey/Whyte)

  

  This is the second song off of -Vauxhall & I- and a pretty good one in my

  opinion.  I play this song with a capo on the fourth fret.  The intro and

  interlusions (if there is such a word) are this RIFF:

  

     F                         Am

  

  G#-------------1-----------|-------------0-----------|

  D#-------1--------1--------|-------1--------1--------|

   B---2------2-------2----2-|---2------2-------2----2-|

  F#-3---3---------------3---|-----2---------------2---|

  C#-------------------------|-0-----------------------|

  G#-------------------------|-------------------------|

  

  E                          Am

  Spring-Heeled Jim winks an eye

        C                  D      Dsus4

  He~ll do, he~ll never be done to

           E               Am

  He takes on whoever flew through

                C               D

  Well it~s the normal thing to do

  

  (ahhh)

  

  RIFF

  

  E                          Am

  Spring-Heeled Jim lives to love

      C                D        Dsus4

  Now kissing with his mouth full

          E                  Am

  And his eyes on some other fool

          C                         D

  So many women, his head should be spinning

  

  (oh but no)

  

  RIFF

  

  E                           Am

  Spring-Heeled Jim slurs the words

           C                D     Dsus4

  There is no need to be so knowing

               E                       Am

  Take life at five times your average speed

         C        D   Dsus4

  Like I do

  E                   Am

  Until Jim feels the chill

     C                 D      Dsus4

  Oh where did all the time go

  E                      Am

  Once always in for the kill

               C

  Now it~s too cold

         D

  And he feels too old

  

  RIFF

  

  

  (ending instrumental played with verse chords)

  

  

  you may notice my deliberate use of Dsus4 chords and i justify that by

  telling you that if you listen to the album closely, it has such a feel

  for a Dsus4 chord.

  

  for poor people who cannot afford capoes, i can sympathize, so i will

  decode each chord into their correct names and their correct fingering,

  but having a capo makes it so much easier.  (the cheapest capo costs only

  two dollars or maybe less).  anyway:

  

                       E A D G B E

                       -----------

  Capoed F = A         5 7 7 6 5 5

  Capoed Am=C#m        x 4 6 6 5 4

  Capoed E = G#        4 6 6 5 4 4

  Capoed C = E         x 7 9 9 9 x

  Capoed D = F#        x x 4 6 7 6

  Capoed Dsus4=F#sus4  x x 4 6 7 7
