[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
[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]
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
[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]
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
[Chorus]
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
