Michael Jackson-Thriller - BPM - 119

[Intro - Chord stabs - No drums]
[Am]xx[C] xxxx xxxx xxxx - [C]xxx [D]xxx [Am]xxx xxxx

[Vamp - Drums in]
[Am] (Bass line - A-0 E-3 A-0 D-0 A-0)

[Verse 1 - note for mid is C - first fret on B]                                                         
It's close to  [Am7] midnight, and something evil's, lurking in the dark. [D7]    
Under the  [Am7] moonlight, you see a sight, that almost stops your heart.
You try to  [D7] scream, but terror takes the sound, before you  [Am7] make it.
You start to  [D7] freeze, as horror looks you right between the  [Am7] eyes
You're para- [Em] lyzed.

[Chorus 1]                         
'Cos this is;  [Am] Thril- [C] ler, ----------
[C] Thril- [D] ler  [Am] Night;
And  [D7] no one's gonna save you from the  [Dm7] beast about to strike.
You know it's;  [Am] Thril- [C] ler,  ------------
[C] Thril- [D] ler  [Am] Night;
You're  [D7] fighting for your life, inside a (delay chords until lyric)
[F7] killer,  [D7] Thriller, 
to [Am7] - night

[Interlude]
[Am7]       
           
[Verse 2]                                                       
You hear the  [Am7] door slam, and realise there's nowhere left to run. [D7]    
You feel the  [Am7] cold hand, and wonder if you'll ever see the sun.
You close your  [D7] eyes, and hope that this is just imagi- [Am7] nation.
But all the  [D7] while, you hear the creature creepin' up be- [Am7] hind
You're out of  [Em] time.
          
[Chorus 2]                         
'Cos this is;  [Am] Thril- [C] ler, ----------
[C] Thril- [D] ler  [Am] Night;
There  [D7] ain't no second chance to kill the  [Dm7] thing with forty 
eyes, girl.
[Am] Thril- [C] ler,  ------------
[C] Thril- [D] ler  [Am] Night;
You're  [D7] fighting for your life, inside a  [F7] killer,  
[D7] Thriller,  [Am7] to-night.
          
[Bridge 1 - Play chords pretty straight ]                                                         
[D7]  Night creatures call and the [D7]  dead start to walk in their  
[Fmaj7] masquerade.            [G]  
[Am7]  There's no escapin' the [Am7] jaws of the alien, this  
[Em7b5-022333] time; ---------- [Fmaj7]  This is the end of your  
[E7sus4-020200] life.     [E7]    
         
[Verse 3]                                                        
[Am7]  They're out to get you; there's demons closing in on every side. [D7]    
They will pos- [Am7] sess you; unless you change the number on your dial.
Now is the  [D7] time, for you and I to cuddle close to- [Am7] gether.
All through the  [D7] night, I'll save you from the terror on the  
[Am7] screen;
I'll make you  [Em] see...
          
[Chorus 3]                         
That this is;  [Am] Thril- [C] ler,  [C] Thril- [D] ler  [Am] Night;
'Cos  [D7] I can thrill you more than any  [Dm7] ghost would dare try.
 [Am]  Thril- [C] ler,  [C] Thril- [D] ler  [Am] Night;
So  [D7] let me hold you tight, and share a  [F7] killer,  
[D7] Thriller,  [Am7] to-night.
          
[Chorus 4]                         
That this is;  [Am] Thril- [C] ler,  [C] Thril- [D] ler  [Am] Night;
'Cos  [D7] I can thrill you more than any  [Dm7] ghost would dare try.
 [Am]  Thril- [C] ler,  [C] Thril- [D] ler  [Am] Night;
So  [D7] let me hold you tight, and share a  [F7] killer,  [D7] 
thriller, [Am7] tonight  
       
[End]
