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#-------------------------|-------------------------|
ESpring-Heeled Jim winks an Ameye
He~ll Cdo, he~ll never be Ddone toDsus4
He takes Eon whoever flew Amthrough
Well it~s the Cnormal thing to Ddo
(ahhh)
RIFF
ESpring-Heeled Jim lives to Amlove
Now Ckissing with his Dmouth fulDsus4l
And his Eeyes on some other Amfool
So many Cwomen, his head should be Dspinning
(oh but no)
RIFF
ESpring-Heeled Jim slurs the Amwords
There is Cno need to be so DknowinDsus4g
Take life at Efive times your average Amspeed
Like I Cdo D Dsus4
EUntil Jim feels the Amchill
Oh Cwhere did all the Dtime goDsus4
EOnce always in for the Amkill
Now it~s too Ccold
And he Dfeels 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
