Jack The Ripper
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 2nd fret
[Intro]
Em C Am (x4)
[Verse]
Em C Am
Oh, you look so tired
Em C Am
Mouth is slack and wide
Em C Am
Ill-housed and ill-advised
Em C Am
Your face is as mean as your life has been
[Chorus]
G D C
Crash into my arms
D G
I want you
D C
You don't agree but you don't refuse
D
I know you
[Verse]
Em C Am
And I know a place
Em C Am
Where no one is likely to pass
Em C Am
Oh, you don't care if it's late
Em C Am
And you don't care if you're lost
Em C Am
And, oh, you look so tired
Em C Am
But tonight you presume too much
Em C Am
Too much, too much
Em
And if it's the last thing I ever do
C Am
I'm gonna get you
[Chorus]
G D C
Crash into my arms
D G
I want you
D C
You don't agree but you don't refuse
D
I know you
[Break]
Em C Am (4x)
A E D E (2x)
[Chorus]
G D C
Crash into my arms
D G
I want you
D
You don't agree
C
'Cause you don't refuse
D
I know you
End on Em

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):

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.
