Thriller

by Michael Jackson

[[ capo 2 ]]

{Intro}

/ Am C D Am7 /

It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark

Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart

You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it

You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes

You're paralyzed

/ D7 Am7 / / / / Fmaj7 Em /

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night

And no one's gonna save you from the beast about strike

You know it's thriller, thriller night

You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

/ AmC C D Am7 / D7 Dm7 / 1st / D7 F7 D7 F/G Am7 /

You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run

You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun

You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination, girl!

But all the while you hear the creature creeping up behind

You're out of time

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night

There ain't no second chance against the thing with forty eyes, girl

Thriller, thriller night

You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

Night creatures calling, the dead start to walk in their masquerade

There's no escaping the jaws of the alien this time

(They're open wide)

This is the end of your life

/ D7 - Fmaj9 G / Am7 C/G Em7b5 / Fmaj7 E7sus4 E7 /

They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every side

They will possess you unless you change that number on your dial

Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together, yeah

All through the night I'll save you from the terror on the screen

I'll make you see

That this is thriller, thriller night

'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghost would ever dare try

Thriller, thriller night

So let me hold you tight and share a

Killer, diller, chiller, thriller here tonight

Darkness falls across the land, the midnight hour is close at hand.

Creatures crawl in search of blood, to terrorise y'awl's neighbourhood.

And whosoever shall be found, without the soul for getting down,

Must stand and face the Hounds of Hell and rot inside a corpse's shell.

The foulest stench is in the air; the funk of forty thousand years,

And grizzy ghouls from every tomb, are closing in to seal your doom.

And though you fight to stay alive; your body starts to shiver,

For no mere mortal can resist, the evil of The Thriller...
