Vox - v1-1, v2-3
Intro C#m to C#m7 (play at 7th fret mute high E with little finger when 
play 7th), then Cm7 to F#7 then drums in
Riff with C#m play bass line A 4 E 7 A 4 7 D 4 A 4 whilst playing C#m7 
(try to mute 6th fret on D so bass line works better
BPM 116 - [Verse 1]                                                         
It's close to  [C#m7] midnight, and something evil's, lurking in the dark. [F#7]    
Under the  [C#m7] moonlight, you see a sight, that almost stops your heart.
You try to  [F#7] scream, but terror takes the sound, before you  [C#m7] make it.
You start to  [F#7] freeze, as horror looks you right between the  [C#m7] eyes
You're para- [G#m] lyzed.

[Chorus 1]                         
'Cos this is;  [C#m] Thril- [E] ler,  [E] Thril- [F#] ler  [C#m] Night;
And  [F#7] no one's gonna save you from the  [F#m7] beast about to strike.
You know it's;  [C#m] Thril- [E] ler,  [E] Thril- [F#] ler  [C#m] Night;
You're  [F#7] fighting for your life, inside a  [A7] killer,  [F#7] Thriller, 
to [(C#m7)] - night

[Interlude]
C#m7       
           
[Verse 2]                                                       
You hear the  [C#m7] door slam, and realise there's nowhere left to run. [F#7]    
You feel the  [C#m7] cold hand, and wonder if you'll ever see the sun.
You close your  [F#7] eyes, and hope that this is just imagi- [C#m7] nation.
But all the  [F#7] while, you hear the creature creepin' up be- [C#m7] hind
You're out of  [G#m] time.
          
[Chorus 2]                         
'Cos this is;  [C#m] Thril- [E] ler,  [E] Thril- [F#] ler  [C#m] Night;
There  [F#7] ain't no second chance to kill the  [F#m7] thing with forty 
eyes, girl.
 [C#m]  Thril- [E] ler,  [E] Thril- [F#] ler  [C#m] Night;
You're  [F#7] fighting for your life, inside a  [A7] killer,  
[F#7] Thriller,  [C#m7] to-night.
          
[Bridge 1 - Play chords pretty straight G#m7b5 = 464454]                                                         
[F#7]  Night creatures call and the dead start to walk in their  
[Amaj7] masquerade. [B]  
[C#m7]  There's no escapin' the jaws of the alien, this  [G#m7b5] time; 
[Amaj7]  This is the end of your  [G#7sus4] life.     [G#7]    
         
[Verse 3]                                                        
[C#m7]  They're out to get you; there's demons closing in on every side. [F#7]    
They will pos- [C#m7] sess you; unless you change the number on your dial.
Now is the  [F#7] time, for you and I to cuddle close to- [C#m7] gether.
All through the  [F#7] night, I'll save you from the terror on the  
[C#m7] screen;
I'll make you  [G#m] see...
          
[Chorus 3]                         
That this is;  [C#m] Thril- [E] ler,  [E] Thril- [F#] ler  [C#m] Night;
'Cos  [F#7] I can thrill you more than any  [F#m7] ghost would dare try.
 [C#m]  Thril- [E] ler,  [E] Thril- [F#] ler  [C#m] Night;
So  [F#7] let me hold you tight, and share a  [A7] killer,
 [F#7]  Diller,  [A/B] chiller, [C#m7]  Thriller here to- [E] night.
          
[Chorus 4]                         
That this is;  [C#m] Thril- [E] ler,  [E] Thril- [F#] ler  [C#m] Night;
'Cos  [F#7] I can thrill you more than any  [F#m7] ghost would dare try.
 [C#m]  Thril- [E] ler,  [E] Thril- [F#] ler  [C#m] Night;
So  [F#7] let me hold you tight, and share a  [A7] killer,  [F#7] 
thriller, [(C#m7)]  ow!  
       
[Break]
 [C#m7]  ...I'm gonna thrill you tonight.
               
(Vincent Price)
               
[Spoken]                                              
 [C#m7]  Darkness  [A] falls across the land, [B]  the midnight hour is  
[F#*] close at hand.
 [C#m7]  Creatures crawl in  [A] search of blood, [B]  to terrorise your  
[F#*] neighbourhood.
 [C#m7]  And whosoever shall be  [A] found, without the  [B] soul for getting  
[F#*] down,
Must  [C#m7] stand and face the Hounds of Hell  [A] and rot  [B] inside a 
corpse's  [F#*] shell.
                    
(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
