Spring Heeled Jack

	  		Intro: Bb Bb Bb Bb 

Verse 1:
Bb 
Upward he shoots 
          Bb 
By the springs on his boots 
        Eb 
Like an inverted angel 
  Cm                        Gm 
We've been afraid of this terrible 
Gb          Fm     Bb          Eb 
Strange, elusive monster for years 


     Gm        D      Cm      Eb 
It seems to be superstitious lunacy 
Ebm    Dm        D 
But in fact when things go black 
    F                   Bb 
Old Spring Heeled Jack appears 


Verse 2:
 
Bb 
I hear the sound 
         Bb 
Of him bounding around 
        Eb 
On the rooftops of London 
  Cm                  Gm          Gb 
Leaving the people bewildered and stunned 
      Fm   Bb        Eb 
And, on occasion, aflame 


     Gm         D    Cm      Eb 
No sooner than unsuspecting Englishmen 
Ebm        Dm         D 
Turn their backs, the wretch attacks 
    F                        G 
And Spring Heeled Jack's his name 


Bridge:
 
                        Cm 
I doubt that it's those clever brats in college 
        Eb                       D 
And the Marquess of Waterford denies all knowledge 
    G             Gb   F                E 
And people in the area reek of mass hysteria... 
Cm                              F 
But, admit you must, that it is just enough to scare you 

Verse 3:
 
        Bb 
And you scream when he draws 
        Bb 
Out a handful of claws 
         Eb 
And a blue breath of fire 
   Cm                     Gm       Gb 
Then disappears leaping higher and higher 
 Fm   Bb            Eb 
As if lighter than air 

  
       Gm 
Time marches on 
 D       Cm        Eb 
Now it seems as though he's gone 
Ebm      Dm          D 
This day lacks tales of his acts 

But don't relax 
    F                          Bb 
For Spring Heeled Jack's still there
