[Note] Sounds even better if you alternate the bass with your thumb on the E and A strings, bossa nova style.
[Verse 1]
Bm9
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie screenN.C
I said don't mind but what do you mean
Em9 I am the one Bm9 Who will dance on the floor in the round Em9 She said I am the one Bm9 Who will dance on the floor in the round
N.C
She told me her name was Billie Jean as she caused a scene
N.C
Then every head turned
Em9 With eyes that dreamed of being the one Bm9 Who will dance on the floor in the round
[Pre-chorus]
Em9 Bm9 People always told me: Be careful what you do Em9 Bm9 Don't go around breaking young girl's hearts Em9 Bm9 And mother always told me: Be careful of who you love Gmaj7 Be careful of what you do
F#aug7
Cause the lie becomes the truth
[Chorus]
Bm9 Billie Jean is not my lover N.C Em9 She's just a girl who claims that I am the one Bm9 But the kid is not my son Em9 She says I am the one Bm9 But the kid is not my son
[Verse 2]
Bm9 For forty days and forty nights the law was on her side Em9 But who can stand when she's in demand her schemes and plans Bm9 On the floor in the round Em9 So take my strong advice Bm9 Just remember to always think twice (Do think twice) Bm9 She told my baby best of three as she looked at me Em9 And showed a photo of a baby cry, his eyes were like mine Bm9 Danced on the floor in the round
[Pre-chorus]
Em9 Bm9 Yes people always told me: be careful what you do Em9 Bm9 Don't go around breaking young girl's hearts Em9 Bm9 She came and stood right by me then the smell of sweet perfume Gmaj7 That happened much too soon
F#aug7
She called me to her room
[Chorus]
Bm9 Billie Jean is not my lover N.C Em9 She's just a girl who claims that I am the one Bm9 But the kid is not my son Bm9 Billie Jean is not my lover N.C Em9 She's just a girl who claims that I am the one Bm9 But the kid is not my son
