Subject: JACK THE RIPPER by Morrissey
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 ----------------|-----------------|-------------|----------------|
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)
F#m D Bm
Oh, you look so tired
F#m D Bm
Mouth is slack and wide
F#m D Bm
Ill-housed and ill-advised
F#m D Bm A
Your face is as mean as your life has been
E D
Crash into my arms
E A
I want you
E D
You don't agree but you don't refuse
E - F5
I know you
F#m D Bm
And I know a place
F#m D Bm
Where no one is likely to pass
F#m D Bm
Oh, you don't care if it's late
F#m D Bm
And you don't care if you're lost
F#m D Bm
And, oh, you look so tired
F#m D Bm
But tonight you presume too much
F#m D Bm
Too much, too much
F#m
And if it's the last thing I ever do
D Bm A
I'm gonna get you
E D
Crash into my arms
E A
I want you
E D
You don't agree but you don't refuse
E - F5
I know you
Break: F#m
F#m D Bm (4x)
A E D E (2x)<-- played with chorus riff
A E D
Crash into my arms
D A
I want you
E
You don't agree
D
'Cause you don't refuse
E
I know you
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...
