...THRILLER... by Michael Jackson --------------................... *from 'Thriller' (1982)* Intro: C#m7, F#7, G#aug C#m E, E F# C#m, C#m7, F#7 (x2) Verse 1:

It's close to ^C#m7midnight, and something evil's, lurking in the dark.^F#7 Under the ^C#m7moonlight, you see a sight, that almost stops your heart. You try to ^F#7scream, but terror takes the sound, before you ^C#m7make it. You start to ^F#7freeze, as horror looks you right between the ^C#m7eyes; You're para-^G#mlyzed.

Chorus 1:

'Cos this is; ^C#mThril-^Eler, ^EThril-^F#ler ^C#mNight; And ^F#7no one's gonna save you from the ^F#m7beast about to strike. You know it's; ^C#mThril-^Eler, ^EThril-^F#ler ^C#mNight; F#7 A7 F#7 (C#m7) You're fighting for your life, inside a killer, Thriller, to-night.

Interlude: C#m7 Verse 2:

You hear the ^C#m7door slam, and realise there's nowhere left to run.^F#7 You feel the ^C#m7cold hand, and wonder if you'll ever see the sun. You close your ^F#7eyes, and hope that this is just imagi-^C#m7nation. But all the ^F#7while, you hear the creature creepin' up be-^C#m7hind; You're out of ^G#mtime.

Chorus 2:

'Cos this is; ^C#mThril-^Eler, ^EThril-^F#ler ^C#mNight; There ^F#7ain't no second chance to kill the ^F#m7thing with forty eyes, girl. ^C#m Thril-^Eler, ^EThril-^F#ler ^C#mNight; You're ^F#7fighting for your life, inside a ^A7killer, ^F#7Thriller, to-^C#m7night.

Bridge 1:

^F#7 Night creatures call and the dead start to walk in their ^Amaj7masquerade.^B C#m7 G#m7b5 There's no escapin' the jaws of the alien, this time; ^Amaj7 This is the end of your ^G#7sus4life. ^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#m7sess you; unless you change the number on your dial. Now is the ^F#7time, for you and I to cuddle close to-^C#m7gether. All through the ^F#7night, I'll save you from the terror on the ^C#m7screen; I'll make you ^G#msee...

^C#m7 ...I'm gonna thrill you tonight. (Vincent Price)

(Spoken): C#m7 A B F#* Darkness falls across the land, the midnight hour is close at hand. C#m7 A B F#* Creatures crawl in search of blood, to terrorise your neighbourhood. C#m7 A B F#* And whosoever shall be found, without the soul for getting down, C#m7 A B F#* Must stand and face the Hounds of Hell and rot inside a corpse's shell. (with Vocal Ad-libs): C#m7 A, B F#* (x3), C#m7 A B F#* C#m7 The foulest stench is in the air; the funk of forty thousand years, A B F#* And grizzy ghouls from every tomb, are closing in to seal your doom. C#m7 A B F#* And though you fight to stay alive; your body starts to shiver, C#m7 A B F#* For no mere mortal can resist, the evil of The Thriller...
