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
interludes are this RIFF:
e|-------------0-------------|-------------0-------------| B|-----1-0--1-----1--0--1----|-----1-0--1-----1--0--1----| G|---2-----------------------|---2-----------------------| D|-3----------------------3--|-2----------------------2--| A|---------------------------|---------------------------| E|---------------------------|---------------------------|
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)
RIFF
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)
RIFF
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
RIFF
(ending instrumental played with verse chords)
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.
