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:           Asus7  (4x)

                  Asus7
Oh, you look so tired
                     Asus7
Mouth is slack and wide
                       Asus7
Ill-housed and ill-advised
                                    Asus7     
Your face is as mean as your life has been

                             
  Crash into my arms    I want you
                             
  You don't agree but you don't refuse
              
I know you

               Asus7
And I know a place
                           Asus7
Where no one is likely to pass
                                 Asus7
Oh, you don't care if it's late
                                   Asus7
And you don't care if you're lost
                        Asus7
And, oh, you look so tired
                              Asus7
But tonight you presume too much
                  Asus7
Too much, too much
                  
And if it's the last thing I ever do
       Asus7         
I'm gonna get you

                             
  Crash into my arms    I want you
                             
  You don't agree but you don't refuse
              
I know you

Break:           Asus7 (x2)
        
                            Asus7
And no one knows a thing about me
                           Asus7
I can come and go as I please 

                             
  Crash into my arms    I want you
                           
  You don't agree but you don't refuse
              
I know you

Chorus (x2) End on Em
