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:

(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.
