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

RIFF (ending instrumental played with verse chords) you may notice my deliberate use ofDsus4Dsus4 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:
