Chords

(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:
   Fmaj7                       Am
e|-------------0-------------|-------------0-------------|
B|-----1-0--1-----1--0--1----|-----1-0--1-----1--0--1----|

E                          Am
Spring-Heeled Jim winks an eye

      C                  D      Dsus4
He~ll do, he~ll never be done to

         E               Am
He takes on whoever flew through

              C               D
Well it~s the normal thing to do
(ahhh) RIFF
E                          Am
Spring-Heeled Jim lives to love

    C                D        Dsus4
Now kissing with his mouth full

        E                  Am
And his eyes on some other fool

        C                         D
So many women, his head should be spinning
(oh but no) RIFF
E                           Am
Spring-Heeled Jim slurs the words

         C                D     Dsus4
There is no need to be so knowing

             E                       Am
Take life at five times your average speed

       C        D   Dsus4
Like I do

E                   Am
Until Jim feels the chill

   C                 D      Dsus4
Oh where did all the time go

E                      Am
Once always in for the kill

             C
Now it~s too cold

       D
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.
