Verse 1:
[C] The sirens are screaming and the [F] fires are howling, way [C] down in the valley tonight.
There’s a man in the shadows [Em] with a gun in his eye, and a [F] blade shining, oh, so bright.
There’s [C] evil in the air and there’s [G] thunder in the sky, And a [Am] killer’s on the
bloodshot [F] streets. [F] Oh, and [C] down in the tunnel where the [G] deadly are rising,
Oh, I [Dm] swear I saw a young boy, Down in the gutter, He was [F] starting to foam in the heat.

|But I [F] gotta get out, I gotta [G] break it out now, Be[Am]fore the final crack of [F] dawn. [F]
|So we [C] gotta make the most of our [G] one night together,
|When it’s [F] over, you know, we’ll both be so alone. [G] [F/G] [G] [F/G]

|Like a [C]bat out of hell, I’ll [F] be gone when the morning [C] comes. When the [C] night is over,
|Like [Em] a bat out of hell [F] I’ll be [Am7] gone, [Dm]gone, gone. Like a [C] bat out of hell

|I’ll come [F]crawling home [G] back to you. [Am]
[Verse 2]
I’m [C] gonna hit the highway [F] like a battering ram, on a [C] silver black phantom bike,
When the [C]metal is hot and [Em] the engine is hungry, and we’re [F] all about to see the light.
[C]Nothing ever grows in [G] this rotten old hole, [Am] everything is stunted and [F] lost.
And [C]nothing really rocks, and [G] nothing really rolls, and [F]nothing’s ever [G]worth the [C] cost.
And I [F] know that I’m [G] damned if I [C] never get out, and [F] maybe I’m [G] damned if I [C] do,
But with [F] every other [G] beat I got [Am] left in my heart, You know I’d [F] rather [G] be damned
with [C] you. Well, if I [C] gotta be damned, you know [G] I wanna be damned, [F]Dancing through
the [G] night with [C] you.
If I [C] gotta be damned, you know I [G] wanna be damned.
[C] Gotta be damned, you know, I [F] wanna be damned,
[C] Gotta be damned, you know, I [G] wanna be damned,

Silence like a cancer grows.

But my words like silent raindrops fell,--

And echoed in the wells of silence
[Verse 5]

And the people bowed and prayed

To the neon God they made.

And the sign flashed out it's warn--ing,

In the words that it was form--ing.

And the sign said, the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls

and tenement halls. And whisper'd in the sounds **- of silence.

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, (girl)
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, (girl)
|[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, (yeah)
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 (Ooo Hoo!), thriller night
|[Gm] So let me hold you tight and share a [Bb] killer, [A7] thriller, ow!
[Dm] [Dm] [Dm] [Dm]
(I'm gonna thrill ya tonight)
Dm
[Darkness falls across the land.....the midnight hour is close at hand]
Dm
[Creatures crawl in search of blood...to terrorize your neighbourhood]
Dm
[And whosoever shall be found...without the soul called getting down]
Dm
[Must stand and face the hounds of Hell....and rot inside a corpses shell]
Dm
[The foulest stench is in the air....the funk of forty thousand years]
Dm
[And grizzly ghouls from every tomb....are closing in to seal your doom]
Dm
[And though you fight to stay alive....your body starts to shiver]

Verse 1:
As [C] I was a goin' over the [Am] far famed Kerry mountains
I [F] met with Captain Farrell and his [C] money he was counting
I [C] first produced my pistol and I [Am] then produced my rapier
Said [F] "Stand and deliver" for you [C] are my bold deceiver
|Chorus:
|With me [G] ring dum-a doo dum-a da
|[C] Whack for the daddy-o [F] whack for the daddy-o
|There's [C] whiskey [G7] in the [C] jar.
Verse 2:
I [C] counted out his money and it [Am] made a pretty penny
I [F] put it in me pocket and I [C] brought it home to Jenny
She [C] said and she swore that she [Am] never would deceive me
But the [F] devil take the women for they [C] never can be easy
Chorus:
Verse 3:
I [C] went into my chamber, all [Am] for to take a slumber
I [F] dreamt of gold and jewels and for [C] sure it was no wonder
But [C] Jenny drew me charges and she [Am] filled them up with water
Then [F] sent for captain Farrell to be [C] ready for the slaughter.
Chorus:
Verse 4:
It was [C] early in the morning, just be[Am]fore I rose to travel
The [F] guards were all around me and [C] likewise Captain Farrell

But I [F] couldn't shoot the water, so a [C] prisoner I was taken.

Verse 5:
If [C] anyone can aid me, it's my [Am] brother in the army,
If [F] I can find his station in [C] Cork or in Killarney.
And [C] if he'll come and save me, we'll go [Am] roving near Kilkenny,
and I [F] swear he'll treat me better than me [C] darling sportling Jenny.
Chorus:
Verse 6:
Now [C] some men take delight in the [Am] drinking and the roving,
But [F] others take delight in the [C] gambling and the smoking.
But [C] I take delight in the [Am] juice of the barley,
and [F] courting pretty Jenny in the [C] morning bright and early.
|Chorus:
|With me [G] ring dum-a doo dum-a da
