Intro:
[Am] [C] [D] [Am7]
Verse 1:
[D7] It's close to midnight,
And [Am7]something evil's,
Lurking in the dark.
[D7] Under the moonlight,
You [Am7]see a sight,
That almost stops your heart.
You try to [D7]scream,
But terror takes the sound,
Before you [Am7]make it.
You start to [D7]freeze,
As horror looks you,
Right between the [Am7]eyes;
[Fmaj7] You're para-[Em]lyzed.
'Cos this is;
Chorus 1:
[Am] Thril-[C]ler,
[D] Thriller [Am7]night,
And [D7]no one's gonna save you,
From the [Dm7]beast about to strike.
You know it's;
[Am] Thril-[C]ler,
[D] Thriller [Am7]night,
You're [D7]fighting for your life,
Inside a [F7]killer, [D7]thriller,
[F/G] To-[Am7]night.
Verse 2:
[D7] You hear the door slam,
And [Am7]realize,
There's nowhere left to run.
[D7] You feel the cold hand,
And [Am7]wonder,
If you'll ever see the sun.
You close your [D7]eyes,
And hope that this is,
Just imagi-[Am7]nation.
But all the [D7]while,
You hear the creature,
Creepin' up be-[Am7]hind,
[Fmaj7] You're out of [Em]time.
'Cos this is;
Chorus 2:
[Am] Thril-[C]ler,
[D] Thriller [Am7]night,
And [D7]no one's gonna save you,
From the [Dm7]beast about to strike.
You know it's;
[Am] Thril-[C]ler,
[D] Thriller [Am7]night,
You're [D7]fighting for your life,
Inside a [F7]killer, [D7]thriller,
[F/G] To-[Am7]night.
Bridge 1:
[D7] Night creatures call,
And the dead start to walk,
In their [Fmaj9]masquerade.[G]
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/m/michael_jackson/thriller_crd.html )
[Am7] There's no escapin',
The [C/G]jaws of the,
Alien this [Em7-5]time,
[Fmaj7] This is the end,
Of your [E7sus4]life.[E7]
Verse 3:
[D7] They're out to get you,
There's [Am7]demons,
Closing in on every side.
[D7] They will possess you,
Un-less you change,
The [Am7]number on your dial.
Now is the [D7]time,
For you and I to cuddle,
Close to-[Am7]gether.
All through the [D7]night,
I'll save you from the terror,
On the [Am7]screen;
[Fmaj7] I'll make you [Em]see,
That this is;
Chorus 3:
[Am] Thril-[C]ler,
[D] Thriller [Am7]night,
'Cos [D7]I can thrill you more,
Than any [Dm7]ghost would dare to try.
Girl, this is;
[Am] Thril-[C]ler,
[D] Thriller [Am7]night,
So [D7]let me hold you tight,
And share a [F7]killer,
[D7] Diller, [F/G]chil-[Am7]ler,
[C] Thriller here tonight.
Coda:
(Ad-lib: Am F/A G/A D/A)
(Vincent Price)
(Spoken):
Darkness falls across the land,
The midnight hour is close at hand.
Creatures crawl in search of blood,
To terrorize y'awl's neighbourhood.
And whosoever shall be found,
Without the soul for getting down,
Must stand and face the hounds of hell,
And rot inside a corpse's shell.
The foulest stench is in the air,
The funk of forty thousand years,
And grizzy ghouls from every tomb,
Are closing in to seal your doom.
And though you fight to stay alive,
Your body starts to shiver,
For no mere mortal can resist,
The evil of the thriller...
