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:
