Lemon Demon – Spring Heeled Jack (Guitar Live)

Bb
Upward he shoots

          Bb
By the springs on his boots

        Ebm
Like an inverted angel

  Cm                        Gm
We've been afraid of this terrible

Gb          Fm     Bb          Eb
Strange, elusive monster for years

     Gm        D             Eb
It seems to be superstitious lunacy

Ebdim   Ebm       Cmin
But in fact when things go black

Ebmin                   Bb
Old Spring Heeled Jack appears

Bb         Ddim/G#
I hear the sound

       C#dim/G    Cdim/Gb
Of him bounding around

        Ebm
On the rooftops of London

  Cm                  Gm          Gb
Leaving the people bewildered and stunned

      Fm   Bb        Eb
And, on occasion, aflame

     Gm         D           Eb
No sooner than unsuspecting Englishmen

Ebm
Turn their backs, the wretch attacks

                  Ebm/A       Gm
And Spring Heeled Jack's his name

                        Ebm
I doubt that it's those clever brats in college

        Gm                    Ebm
And the Marquess of Waterford denies all knowledge

    Gm/G          Gm/F# Gm/F   Gm/G
And people in the area reek of mass hysteria...

Cm
But, admit you must, that it is just enough to scare you

        Bb            Ddim/G#
And you scream when he draws

        Dbdim/G   Cdim/F#
Out a handful of claws

         Ebm
And a blue breath of fire

   Cm                     Gm       Gb
Then disappears leaping higher and higher

 Fm   Bb            Eb
As if lighter than air

       Gm
Time marches on

 D               Eb
Now it seems as though he's gone

Ebm/C    Ebm         Ebm/C  Ebm
This day lacks tales of his acts

Ebm/C     Ebm
But don't relax

Eb/C                             Bb
For Spring Heeled Jack's still there

Ddim C#dim Cdim Bb
               Yeaaaah...
