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             E                 D            E                 A

E ----------------|-----------------|-------------|----------------|
B -6~---6--7-9-6~-|--6-6-6--7-9--6~-|--6--7-9-6~--|-9-9-9--7--6----|
G ----------------|-----------------|-------------|-------------7~-|
D ----------------|-----------------|-------------|----------------|
A ----------------|-----------------|-------------|----------------|
E ----------------|-----------------|-------------|----------------|

E ----------------|-----------------|-------------|----------------|
B -6~---6--7-9-6~-|--6-6-6--7-9--6~-|--6--7-9-6~--|-9-9-9--10--11--|
G ----------------|-----------------|-------------|----------------|
D ----------------|-----------------|-------------|----------------|
A ----------------|-----------------|-------------|----------------|
E ----------------|-----------------|-------------|----------------|


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 string):

E -18-18-17--/////(all the way down to the second fret)///----
B ------------------------------------------------------------
G ------------------------------------------------------------
D ------------------------------------------------------------
A ------------------------------------------------------------
E ------------------------------------------------------------


The lyrics and chords for the song is as follows:

Intro:  F#m       D    Bm  (4x)

F#m              D   Bm

    F#m                           D   Bm

     F#m               D  Bm
And, oh, you ..
      F#m                      D   Bm

     F#m        D   Bm
Too much, too ....
                F#m

D         Bm         A

        E     D

  E           A

             E                   D
You don't agree but ...
         E - F5

Break:  F#m

        F#m       D    Bm  (4x)
        A         E         D        E  (2x)<-- played with chorus riff

A       E      D
Crash ...
   D        A
I ...
           E
You don't ...
                    D
'Cause you ...
          E
I know ....


End on F#m

Note that the chorus starts on the A chord.  The A 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...
