Thriller - Michael Jackson

Intro:
[Bass Riff x 2] [+ Ukes x 2]

[Dm] It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark
[Dm] Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart 
You try to [Gm] scream but terror takes the sound before you [Dm] make it 
You start to [Gm] freeze as horror looks you right between the [Dm] eyes 
You're paralyzed [A7]

|Chorus 1:
|'Cause this is [Dm] thriller, thriller night
|And [Gm] no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike
|You know it's [Dm] thriller,  thriller night
|[Gm] You're fighting for your life inside a [Bb] killer, [A7] thriller [Dm] tonight

Bass Riff x2 :

[Dm] You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run 
[Dm] You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun 
You close your [Gm] eyes and hope that this is just [Dm] imagination, {blue}(girl) {/blue}
But all the [Gm] while you hear the creature creeping up [Dm] behind 
You're out of time [A7]

|Chorus 2:
|'Cause this is [Dm] thriller, thriller night
|[Gm] There ain't no second chance against the thing with forty eyes, {blue}(girl){/blue} 
|[Dm] Thriller, thriller night
|[Gm] You're fighting for your life inside a [Bb] killer, [A7] thriller

[Bridge]
[Dm] Night creatures calling, the dead start to walk in their [Gm] masquerade 
[Dm] There's no escaping the jaws of the alien this time [Gm], 
[A7] This* is the end of your [Dm] life

[Dm] They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every side
[Dm] They will possess you unless you change that number on your dial 
Now is the [Gm] time for you and I to cuddle close [Dm] together, {blue}(yeah){/blue}
All through the [Gm] night I'll save you from the terror on the [Dm] screen 
I'll make you [A7] see

|Chorus 3:
|That this is [Dm] thriller, thriller night
|[Gm] Girl, I can thrill you more than any ghost would ever dare try 
|[Dm] Thriller {blue}(Ooo Hoo!){/blue}, thriller night
|[Gm] So let me hold you tight and share a [Bb] killer, [A7] thriller, ow!

[Dm] [Dm] [Dm] [Dm]
{blue}(I'm gonna thrill ya tonight) {/blue}

Dm                              
  {blue}Darkness falls across the land.....the midnight hour is close at hand{/blue}
Dm                                  
  {blue}Creatures crawl in search of blood...to terrorize your neighbourhood{/blue}
Dm                                                                                             
  {blue}And whosoever shall be found...without the soul called getting down{/blue}
Dm
  {blue}Must stand and face the hounds of Hell....and rot inside a corpses shell{/blue}

Dm                                  
   {blue}The foulest stench is in the air....the funk of forty thousand years{/blue} 
Dm                                   
  {blue}And grizzly ghouls from every tomb....are closing in to seal your doom{/blue}
Dm                                   
  {blue}And though you fight to stay alive....your body  starts to shiver{/blue}
Dm            
  {blue}For no mere mortal can resist....the evil of the THRILLER{/blue}
