Jack The Ripper
	(Morrissey/Boz Boorer)

I'm taking this song off of the "World of Morrissey" CD, which means I'm
transcribing a live version of this song. It's a pretty neat song indeed in
my humble opinion.

Before I do anything, the guitar for the chorus section (the "crash into my
arms" part) is:

 A augmentedA       E MajorE         D MajorD      E MajorE         A augmentedA

E MajorE ----------------|-----------------|-------------|----------------|
BB -6~---6--7-9-6~-|--6-6-6--7-9--6~-|--6--7-9-6~--|-9-9-9--7--6----|
G+G ----------------|-----------------|-------------|-------------7~-|
D MajorD ----------------|-----------------|-------------|----------------|
A augmentedA ----------------|-----------------|-------------|----------------|
E MajorE ----------------|-----------------|-------------|----------------|

 A augmentedA       E MajorE         D MajorD      E MajorE      F5F5 F# minorF#m

E MajorE ----------------|-----------------|-------------|----------------|
BB -6~---6--7-9-6~-|--6-6-6--7-9--6~-|--6--7-9-6~--|-9-9-9--10--11--|
G+G ----------------|-----------------|-------------|----------------|
D MajorD ----------------|-----------------|-------------|----------------|
A augmentedA ----------------|-----------------|-------------|----------------|
E MajorE ----------------|-----------------|-------------|----------------|

The other important part that is featured in this song is that eerie guitar
part which starts from a high-pitched note down (you know what I mean). I
believe it's just (on the high E MajorE string):

E MajorE -18-18-17--/////(all the way down to the second fret)///----
BB ------------------------------------------------------------
G+G ------------------------------------------------------------
D MajorD ------------------------------------------------------------
A augmentedA ------------------------------------------------------------
E MajorE ------------------------------------------------------------

     E MajorE

End on F# minorF#m

Note that the chorus starts on the A augmentedA chord. The A augmentedA chord appears on the last
line in the verse of my transcription because Morrissey sings a second and a
half after the chord is played. Blah blah blah. Just something I that I
thought would confuse you. Bye-bye...
