Chords

[Intro] Bb Bb Bb Bb [Verse 1]
Bb
Upward he shoots

          Bb
By the springs on his boots

        Eb
Like an inverted angel

  Cm                        Gm
We've been afraid of this terrible

Gb          Fm     Bb          Eb
Strange, elusive monster for years
[Chorus]
     Gm        D      Cm      Eb
It seems to be superstitious lunacy

Ebm    Dm        D
But in fact when things go black

    F                   Bb
Old Spring Heeled Jack appears
[Verse 2]
Bb
I hear the sound

         Bb
Of him bounding around

        Eb
On the rooftops of London

  Cm                  Gm          Gb
Leaving the people bewildered and stunned

      Fm   Bb        Eb
And, on occasion, aflame
[Chorus]
     Gm         D    Cm      Eb
No sooner than unsuspecting Englishmen

Ebm        Dm         D
Turn their backs, the wretch attacks

    F                        G
And Spring Heeled Jack's his name
[Bridge]
                        Cm
I doubt that it's those clever brats in college

        Eb                       D
And the Marquess of Waterford denies all knowledge

    G             Gb   F                E
And people in the area reek of mass hysteria...

Cm                              F
But, admit you must, that it is just enough to scare you
[Verse 3]
        Bb
And you scream when he draws

        Bb
Out a handful of claws

         Eb
And a blue breath of fire

   Cm                     Gm       Gb
Then disappears leaping higher and higher

 Fm   Bb            Eb
As if lighter than air
[Chorus]
       Gm
Time marches on

 D       Cm        Eb
Now it seems as though he's gone

Ebm      Dm          D
This day lacks tales of his acts
But don't relax
    F                          Bb
For Spring Heeled Jack's still there
