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

RIFF


(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
