Am
You're in for surprise,
you're in for a shock
in Londontown streets
when there is darkness and fog.
C G
When you least expect me
F E A
and you turn your back I'll attack
I smile when I'm sneaking
thru shadows by the wall
I laugh whilst I'm creeping
though you won't hear me at all.
C G
Oh hear my warning
F E
never turn your back
A
on the ripper
You'll soon shake with fear
never knowing if I'm near
I'm sly and I'm shameless
nocturnal and nameless
C G
except for the ripper
or if you like
Jack the knife
A
On a back alley street
is where we'll prob'ly meet
underneath a gas lamp
where the air is cold and damp
I'm a nasty surprise
F
I'm a devil in disguise
E
I'm a footstep at night
A
I'm a scream out with fright
C G
Oh, hear my warning,
F E
never turn your back
A
on the ripper
