CAPO 2nd FRET

(Original Key: F#)

Intro:

Em F#m/E Em F#m/E,
[Em] [F#m/E] [Em] [F#m/E]
Verse 1:

[Em] She was [F#m/E]more like,
A [Em]beauty queen,
From a [F#m/E]movie scene,
[Em] I said [F#m/E]don't mind,
But what [Em]do you mean,
[F#m/E] I am the [Am7]one?
Who will dance on the floor,
In the [Em]round.[F#m/E]

[Em] She said;
[F#m/E] I am the [Am7]one,
Who will dance on the floor,
In the [Em]round.

Interlude:

Em F#m/E (x2)

Verse 2:

[Em] She told me,
[F#m/E] Her name was [Em]Billie Jean,
As she [F#m/E]caused a scene.
[Em] Then every [F#m/E]head turned,
With [Em]eyes that,
Dreamed of [F#m/E]being the [Am7]one,
Who will dance on the floor,
In the [Em]round.

Interlude:

Em F#m/E (x2)

Bridge 1:

[C] People always told me,
Be [Em]careful of what you do,
And don't [C]go around,
Breaking young girls' [Em]hearts.

And [C]mother always told me,
Be [Em]careful of who you love,
And be [C]careful of what you do,
'Cos the [B7]lie becomes the truth.

Chorus 1:

[Em] Billie [F#m/E]Jean is [Em]not my [F#m/E]lover,
[Em] She's just a [F#m/E]girl,
Who [Em]claims that [F#m/E]I am the [Am7]one.
But the kid is not my [Em]son.[F#m/E]

[Em] She says; [F#m/E]I am the [Am7]one,
But the kid is not my [Em]son.[F#m/E]

Interlude:

Em F#m/E (x2)

Verse 3:

[Em] For [F#m/E]forty days and [Em]forty nights,
The law was [F#m/E]on her side.
[Em] But who can [F#m/E]stand,
When she's [Em]in demand,
Her [F#m/E]schemes and [Am7]plans?
'Cos we danced on the floor,
In the [Em]round.[F#m/E]

[Em] So take [F#m/E]my strong advice;
Just remember to always think [Em]twice.[F#m/E]
(Do think [Em]twice).[F#m/E]

Verse 3:

[Em] She told my [F#m/E]baby,
We'd [Em]danced 'till three,
Then she [F#m/E]looked at me,
[Em] Then showed a [F#m/E]photo;
My [Em]baby cried...
His [F#m/E]eyes looked like [Am7]mine.
Go on dance on the floor,
In the [Em]round, [F#m/E]baby.[Em][F#m/E]

Bridge 2:

[C] People always told me,
Be [Em]careful of what you do,
And don't [C]go around,
Breaking young girls' [Em]hearts.

She [C]came and stood right by me,
Then the [Em]smell of sweet perfume.
This [C]happened much too soon,
She [B7]called me to her room.

Chorus 2:

[Em] Billie [F#m/E]Jean is [Em]not my [F#m/E]lover,

But the kid is not my [Em]son.[F#m/E]
