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|------------
B|-----1-0--1-

Spring-Heeled
Jim winks an e
ye
He~ll do, he~l
l never be don
e to
He takes on wh
oever flew thr
ough
Well it~s the
normal thing t
o do
(ahhh)
RIFF
Spring-Heeled
Jim lives to l
ove
Now kissing wi
th his mouth f
ull
And his eyes o
n some other f
ool
So many women,
his head shou
ld be spinning
(oh but no)
RIFF
Spring-Heeled
Jim slurs the
words
There is no ne
ed to be so kn
owing
Take life at f
ive times your
average speed
Like I do
Until Jim feel
s the chill
Oh where did a
ll the time go
Once always in
for the kill
Now it~s too c
old
And he feels t
oo 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.
