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:

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 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
