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

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official JUDAS PRIEST tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
