Spring Heeled Jim (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 interlusions (if there is such a word) are this RIFF: FF A minorAm 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 MajorE A minorAm Spring-...

(ending instrumental played with verse chords) you may notice my deliberate use of Dsus4Dsus4 chords and i justify that by telling you that if you listen to the album closely, it has such a feel for a Dsus4Dsus4 chord. 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. (the cheapest capo costs only two dollars or maybe less). anyway: E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE ----------- Capoed FF = A augmentedA 5 7 7 6 5 5 Capoed Am=C#m x 4 6 6 5 4 Capoed E MajorE = G#G# 4 6 6 5 4 4 Capoed C majorC = E MajorE x 7 9 9 9 x Capoed D MajorD = F#F# x x 4 6 7 6 Capoed Dsus4=F#sus4 x x 4 6 7 7 (questions, comments, phillipics, email me) bye-bye
