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-...
C D Dsus4
He~ll do, he~ll ....
E Am
He takes on whoever ...
C D
Well it~s the ...

(ahhh)

RIFF

E Am
Spring-Heeled ....
C D Dsus4
Now kissing ...
E Am
And his eyes on ...
C D
So many women, his head ....

(oh but no)

RIFF

E Am
Spring-Heeled Jim ...
C D Dsus4
There is no need ...
E Am
Take life at five ....
C D Dsus4
Like I do
E Am
Until Jim feels ...
C D Dsus4
Oh where did ....
E Am
Once always ...
C
Now it~s ...
D
And he ....

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
