(with Vocal Ad-libs) C#m7 A B F#* (x3) C#m7 A
The foulest [B] stench is in the air; the [F#*] funk of forty thousand [C#m7] years, And grizzy [A] ghouls from every tomb, [B] are closing in to [F#*] seal your doom. [C#m7] And though you fight [A] to stay alive; [B] your body starts to [F#*] shiver, For [C#m7] no mere mortal [A] can resist, the [B] evil of The [F#*] Thriller
