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:

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#-------------------------|-------------------------|

Spring-Heeled Jim winks an eye

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

He takes on whoever flew through

Well it~s the normal thing to do

(ahhh)

Spring-Heeled Jim lives to love

Now kissing with his mouth full

And his eyes on some other fool

So many women, his head should be spinning

(oh but no)

Spring-Heeled Jim slurs the words

There is no need to be so knowing

Take life at five times your average speed

Like I do

Until Jim feels the chill

Oh where did all the time go

Once always in for the kill

Now it~s too cold

And he feels too old

(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:

Capoed F = A 5 7 7 6 5 5

Capoed D = F# x x 4 6 7 6
