Billie Jean – Michael Jackson

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 🙂

 

C#     C#    C#      B   A     B-A     C#
She was more like a beauty queen

B        A     B-A      C#
From a movie scene

C#  C#  C#   C#
I said don’t mind,

B          A     B      A     C#
But what do you mean,

B   A   G#   F#
I am the one…

 

F#      G#      F#
Who will dance

F#   G#    F#
On the floor

F#   G#    F#
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

C#        B        A     B-A     C#
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

B     B-A    G#   F#
Of being the one

 

F#      G#       F#
Who will dance

F#    G#   F#
On the floor

F#   G#   F#
In the round?

 

^F#-^E   ^F#-^E  ^F#  ^A
People    always    told   me

^F# ^A-^F#  ^F#  ^F#  ^E#  ^F#
Be     careful   of  what   you  do

^C#  ^F#  ^E  ^F#-^F#
And  don’t  go  around

^F#-^E       ^F#    ^G#     ^F#
Breaking young girls’ hearts

 

^E   ^F#-^E  ^F#-^E  ^F#  ^A
And  mother  always  told  me

^F#  ^A-^F#  ^F#  ^F#  ^E  ^F#
Be   careful   of   who   you   love

^C#  ^F#  ^D-^D  ^D   ^D   ^E   ^F#
And   be   careful   of   what  you  do

^F#    ^F#   ^F    ^F-^F   ^F#   ^G#
‘Cause the lie becomes the truth…

 

^F#-^F#   ^E-^C#
Billie           Jean

^C#  ^F#  ^F#  ^E-^C#
Is      not      my     lover

^F# ^F# ^F# ^E-^C#
She’s   just   a     girl

^C#   ^F#   ^A   ^B   ^A  ^G#  ^F#
Who  claims  that  I  am  the  one

^F# ^F# *C#-^B ^B ^F# ^D ^C#
But    the      kid      is   not   my   son…

^F#  ^A  ^B  ^A  ^G#  ^F#
She   says   I   am   the   one,

^F# ^F# *C#-^B ^B ^F# ^D  ^C#
But    the      kid      is   not   my   son…

 

^C# ^C#-^C# ^C# B A B-A ^C#
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#
But who can stand when she’s in demand

B              A          G#     F#
Her schemes and plans…

 

F#          G#       F#
‘Cause we danced

F#   G#     F#
On the floor

F#   G#    F#
In the round…

 

F#     A    B       A       G#-F#
So take my strong advice,

F#    F#-^D-^C#  A   G#-F#    D     C#
Just remember to always think twice

 

^C# ^C#  ^C#  ^C#-B
She   told   my   baby

A             B        A      ^C#
We’d danced till three,

B         A       B      A    ^C#
Then she looked at me

^C#   ^C#  ^C#  ^C#-B
Then showed a photo

A      B-A   ^C#
My baby cried

B         B       A      G#     F#
His eyes were like mine…

 

F#          G#       F#
‘Cause we danced

F#   G#     F#
On the floor

F#   G#    F#
In the round…

 

^F#-^E  ^F#-^E  ^F#  ^A
People  always  told  me

^F# ^A-^F#  ^F#  ^F#  ^E#  ^F#
Be   careful   of   what   you   do

^C#  ^F#  ^E  ^F#-^F#
And  don’t  go  around

^F#-^E      ^F#    ^G#    ^F#
Breaking young girls’ hearts

 

 

^E     ^F#   ^E    ^F#   ^E   ^F# ^F#
She came and stood right by me

^F#  ^F#  ^A   ^F#   ^F#   ^E#-^F#
Just  the  smell  of  sweet  perfume

^F#     ^D-^D      ^D    ^E    ^F#
This happened much too soon

^F#   ^F    ^F   ^F  ^F#  ^G#
She called me to her room…

 

 

^F#-^F#   ^E-^C#
Billie           Jean

^C#  ^F#  ^F#  ^E-^C#
Is      not      my     lover

^F# ^F# ^F# ^E-^C#
She’s   just   a     girl

^C#   ^F#   ^A   ^B   ^A  ^G#  ^F#
Who  claims  that  I  am  the  one

^F# ^F# *C#-^B ^B ^F# ^D ^C#
But    the      kid      is   not   my   son…

^F#  ^A  ^B  ^A  ^G#  ^F#
She   says   I   am   the   one,

^F# ^F#  *C#-^B ^B ^F# ^D  ^C#
But    the      kid      is   not   my   son…
