E                          Am
Spring-Heeled Jim winks an eye
      C                  D      Dsus4
He~ll do, he~ll never be done to
         E               Am
He takes on whoever flew through
              C               D
Well it~s the normal thing to do

(ahhh)

RIFF

E                          Am
Spring-Heeled Jim lives to love
    C                D        Dsus4
Now kissing with his mouth full
        E                  Am
And his eyes on some other fool
        C                         D
So many women, his head should be spinning

(oh but no)

RIFF

E                           Am
Spring-Heeled Jim slurs the words
         C                D     Dsus4
There is no need to be so knowing
             E                       Am
Take life at five times your average speed
       C        D   Dsus4
Like I do
E                   Am
Until Jim feels the chill
   C                 D      Dsus4
Oh where did all the time go
E                      Am
Once always in for the kill
             C
Now it~s too cold
       D
And he feels too old

RIFF


(ending instrumental played with verse chords)


you may notice my deliberate use of Dsus4 chords and i justify that by
telling you that if you listen to the album closely, it has such a feel
for a Dsus4 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:
