Such an awesome tune, “Billie Jean” is one of my favourite by Michael Jackson and is super fun to play as the notes aren’t as challenging as they sound, so perfect for beginners!
Did you know?! Billie Jean has been covered by Flying Pickets, Blackstreet, Chris Cornell, Faithless, Flying Pickets, Justin Bieber, London Symphonic Orchestra and also the Glee cast 🙂

In the round?
F# A B A G# F#
She said I am the one…
F# G# F#
Who will dance
F# G# F#
On the floor
F# G# F#
In the round?
C# C# C#
She told me

Her name was Billie Jean
B A B A C#
As she caused a scene
C# C#-C# C# B
Then every head turned
A B A C#
With eyes that dreamed

Of being the one
F# G# F#
Who will dance
F# G# F#
On the floor
F# G# F#
In the round?

For forty days and forty nights
B B A B A ^C#
The law was on her side
^C# ^C# ^C# ^C# B A B A-^C#

Her schemes and plans…

‘Cause we danced
F# G# F#
On the floor

In the round…

This happened much too soon
