So since the death of the "King of Pop", everyone has been submitting
Michael Jackson tabs. So I thought I would give it a shot.
(The rhythm of the song is based off the bassline. So just try and mimic it.
For the verses and choruses, I throw in some palm mutes to make it more interesting.)
Capo 2nd fret
Intro
[Em]
(I counted about 24 measures of Em. Feel free to shorten if you want.)
Verse 1
[Em]
She was more like a beauty queen, from a movie scene,
[Am]
I said; don't mind, but what do you mean; I am the one?
[Em]
Who will dance on the floor, in the round.
[Am] [Em]
She said; I am the one, who will dance on the floor, in the round.
Verse 2
[Em]
She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene.
[Am]
Then every head turned, with eyes that dreamed of being the one,
[Em]
Who will dance on the floor, in the round.
Pre-Chorus
[C] [Em]
People always told me; be careful what you do;
[C] [Em]
And don't go around breaking young girl's hearts.
[C] [Em]
And mother always told me; be careful of who you love;
[C] [B7]
And be careful of what you do, 'cos the lie becomes the truth.
Chorus 1
[Em]
Billie Jean is not my lover;
[Am]
She's just a girl who, claims that I am the one.
[Em]
But the kid is not my son.
[Am]
She says; I am the one,
[Em]
But the kid is not my son.
Verse 3
[Em]
For forty days and forty nights, the law was on her side.
[Am]
But who can stand, when she's in demand, her schemes and plans?
[Em]
'Cos we danced on the floor, in the round.
[Am] [Em]
So take my strong advice; just remember to always think twice.
(Do think twice).
Verse 4
[Em]
She told my baby we'd danced till three, then she looked at me,
[Am]
Then showed a photo; my baby cried; his eyes looked like mine.
[Em]
Go on dance on the floor, in the round, baby.
Pre-chorus 2
[C] [Em]
People always told me; be careful what you do;
[C] [Em]
And don't go around breaking young girl's hearts.

She came and stood right by me; then the smell of sweet perfume.
[C] [B7]
This happened much too soon; she called me to her room.

But the kid is not my son.
