Colin Meloy – Jack The Ripper (Acoustic Morrissey Cover)
This is a pretty good cover if you haven’t heard it, this is what I hear so I don’t know
if it’s perfect but it’s pretty close. It might actually work for the original so try it
out and let me know.

Intro: Em C/E Asus7 (4x)
Em C/E Asus7
Oh, you look so tired
Em C/E Asus7
Mouth is slack and wide
Em C/E Asus7
Ill-housed and ill-advised
Em C/E Asus7
Your face is as mean as your life has been
G Dsus C Dsus D Dsus
Crash into my arms I want you
G Dsus C
You don't agree but you don't refuse
Dsus D Dsus
I know you
Em C/E Asus7
And I know a place
Em C/E Asus7
Where no one is likely to pass
Em C/E Asus7
Oh, you don't care if it's late
Em C/E Asus7
And you don't care if you're lost
Em C/E Asus7
And, oh, you look so tired
Em C/E Asus7
But tonight you presume too much
Em C/E Asus7
Too much, too much
Em
And if it's the last thing I ever do
C/E Asus7
I'm gonna get you
G Dsus C Dsus D Dsus
Crash into my arms I want you
G Dsus C
You don't agree but you don't refuse
Dsus D Dsus
I know you
Break: Em Dsus Asus7 (x2)
Em C/E Asus7
And no one knows a thing about me
Em C/E Asus7
I can come and go as I please
G Dsus C Dsus D Dsus
Crash into my arms I want you
G Dsus C
You don't agree but you don't refuse
Dsus D Dsus
I know you
Chorus (x2) End on Em
