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
interlusions (if there is such a word) are this RIFF:
F Am
G#-------------1-----------|-------------0-----------|D#-------1--------1--------|-------1--------1--------| B---2------2-------2----2-|---2------2-------2----2-|F#-3---3---------------3---|-----2---------------2---|C#-------------------------|-0-----------------------|G#-------------------------|-------------------------|
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)
