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 ----------------|-----------------|-------------|----------------|

Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
 A       E         D      E      F5 F#m

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)

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...
