Billie Jean Michael Jackson backing track and tabs

Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)

this is a solo guitar piece that i have composed myself it has the drum beat guitar and
in it its not the whole song but I'm working on it.
tuning the 3 lower strings i have tuned to the 3 higher bass notes on a 4 string bass so
sounds more like the song you will need a bass tuner, so it goes ADGGBE and the higher
are standard tuning for guitar.
a quick tip hit the 3 higher strings with your strumming finger so you do the bass with
chord hand and guitar and drums with your strumming hand its a bit easier to handle.
The symbols i used probably aren't the right ones but never mind
b] bass hit above the pickup hole on the guitar with the fleshy part of your hand just
the wrist of your strumming hand.
s] snare hit below the pickup hole on the guitar with your middle and ring finger of
strumming hand.
h] hammer on
p] pull off

Dont go around breaking young girls hearts (heeee-eee)
D F#m
And mama always told me, be careful who you love
Bm C#m
Be careful what you do, because a lie becomes the truth (Hey ay-ay)

[Chorus]

F#m G#m A G#m
Billie jean is, not my lover
F#m G#m A G#m Bm
She's just a girl that, claims that I am the one

Bm
She says I am the one
F#m G#m A G#m
But, the kid is not my son...

[Verse 3]

F#m G#m A G#m
For forty days and for, forty nights
The law was on her side
F#m G#m A G#m
But who can stand when she's in demand
Bm
Her schemes and plans
F#m G#m A G#m
Cause we danced, on the floor, in the round
Bm F#m G#m A G#m
So take my stong advice, just remember to always think twice

Do think twice (Do think twice Wooh!)

[Verse 4]

F#m G#m A G#m
She told my baby, thats a threat
as she looked at me
F#m G#m A G#m
She showed a photo of a babys cries
Bm
His eyes were like mine
F#m G#m A G#m
Gonna dance, on the floor, in the round baby

[Bridge]

D F#m
And people always told me, be careful what you do
D F#m
Dont go around, breaking young girls hearts (heee-eee)
D F#m
Then she came and stood right by me
D F#m
Cause I smelt her sweet perfume
Bm
I guess it happened all too soon
C#m
and she called me to her room (Hey-ay)

[Chorus]

F#m G#m A G#m
Billie jean is, not my lover
F#m G#m A G#m Bm
She's just a girl that, claims that I am the one
