[Intro]
Bb Bb Bb Bb
[Verse 1]
BbUpward he shoots
By the sprBbings on his boots
Like an Ebinverted angel
WeCm've been afraid of this teGmrrible
GbStrange, eluFmsive moBbnster for yeEbars
[Chorus]
It seGmems to be DsuperstCmitious lEbunacy
EbmBut in Dmfact when Dthings go black
Old FSpring Heeled Jack aBbppears
[Verse 2]
BbI hear the sound
Of him boBbunding around
On the rEbooftops of London
LeCmaving the people bewGmildered and Gbstunned
And, oFmn occBbasion, aflEbame
[Chorus]
No soGmoner than uDnsuspCmecting EEbnglishmen
EbmTurn their Dmbacks, the Dwretch attacks
And FSpring Heeled Jack's his Gname
[Bridge]
I doubt that it's those Cmclever brats in college
And the EbMarquess of Waterford denDies all knowledge
And Gpeople in the Gbarea Freek of mass hystEeria...
CmBut, admit you must, that it is Fjust enough to scare you
[Verse 3]
And you Bbscream when he draws
Out a haBbndful of claws
And a bluEbe breath of fire
TheCmn disappears leaping hiGmgher and Gbhigher
AFms if Bblighter than aEbir
[Chorus]
Time maGmrches on
NDow it seCmems as thoEbugh he's gone
EbmThis day Dmlacks tales Dof his acts
But don't relax
For FSpring Heeled Jack's still Bbthere

Ebm

[Intro]

Bb Bb Bb Bb

[Verse 1]

Upward he shoots

By the springs on his boots

Like an inverted angel

Cm Gm

We've been afraid of this terrible

Gb Fm Bb Eb

Strange, elusive monster for years

[Chorus]

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]

I hear the sound

Of him bounding around

On the rooftops of London

Cm Gm Gb

Leaving the people bewildered and stunned

Fm Bb Eb

And, on occasion, aflame

[Chorus]

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]

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]

And you scream when he draws

Out a handful of claws

And a blue breath of fire

Cm Gm Gb

Then disappears leaping higher and higher

Fm Bb Eb

As if lighter than air

[Chorus]

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
