Chords for James Hill, "Billie Jean" With His Imaginary Band

_ People ask me, why do you have two ukulele on stage?
I say, _ _ _ because_
_ [G] Because I want to.
_ _ _ [D] Anybody here got ukulele acquisition syndrome?
_ [A] _ I'm with you, I'm with you.
[G] Yeah, _ _ _ [D]
why have one when 12 would do? _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gbm] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [G] _ [A] _ [D] _ _ [Db] _ _
Like I said, I [Bb] do spend a lot of time on the road
[B] And I like that, I like traveling and everything, but one of the tricks about being on the road
Is that you know it's very expensive to travel [G] with more than one person
So I do a lot of solo shows and whatnot [Gb] and so that means I do a lot of
[Eb] figuring out ways to make it sound like there's more than one person up here and
[N] Here's where I need your help.
_ I need your your help here on this next tune.
You have to work with me
You have to believe
_ You have to believe that there are three people up here at least maybe more.
We'll see how [D] many join me
_ [Gb] There's at least one person over here playing the [D] bass
You have to imagine, use all of your powers of imagination to imagine that there's a bass player [Db] over here going [Gm] like this
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ [G] _ _ _ [Bbm] Okay, [Ab] and then there's a [Db] drummer back here.
You have to believe
[G] That there's a drummer back [Ab] there and the drummer is going like this
_ And _ _
[N] _ then you have to believe that there's a piano player over here
Going like this
[Gm] Okay, [C] _ _
[Gm] _ _ [A] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [N] now if you concentrate really hard and you use all of your powers of imagination and you believe in magic
_ You might just start to fool yourself into thinking that you're actually hearing all these things at once, but you really have to concentrate
Okay, so here we go
We'll start with the bass line.
Bass line, [F] remember? _
_ _ [G] _ _ [Db] Focus [D] _
[G] on that bass line.
Try to keep that in your mind _
[D] _ [G] _ _ [Db] _ And when I add [G] the drums, see if you can still hear that bass line.
You have to believe
[D] _ [G] _
_ [Db] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _
[D] _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] [G] You hear them both?
You hear them both at the same time?
You [Cm] believe
[G] _ _
_ _ _ [D] Okay, third part [G] now.
You really have to believe on this one.
You really have to [D] believe
Have to [Gm] use your imagination [D] now
Here I [F] go.
Here's the all [G] three parts at the same time.
Here we [D] go
[Gm] _ _ [A] _ _
_ [G] _ _ [A] _ You hear them all?
Can you hear them all?
[E] _ Yeah.
Oh, [A] yeah, we're grooving now _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Em] _ [Dbm]
Can [Eb] _ [Ab] you hear them [Db] all?
Then you believe.
[G] If you can't hear them, you don't [Em] believe
[A] _ [N] And for those of you who can't hear all three parts yet, you have to believe harder _
Believe harder.
Do you believe harder?
_ _ [G] Do you believe more than you believed before?
_ Okay, here we [Bb] go
_ [Db] _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ [G] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [D] _
_ She _ _ _ [N] _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [G] [D] was more like a beauty queen [C] from [G] a movie scene
_ I said I don't mind, but what do you [Dm] mean?
I [Eb] ain't the one
_ Who _ would end on the [Gm] floor in her love
[Bm] _ [C] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Am] _ _
[D] _ [G] _ I
She told me her name was [Db] Billie Jean and [Gb] she caused a scene
[Dm] Every head [G] turned with eyes [C] that [F] drew [Bb] me [Eb] in the one _ _
The one who will dance on the floor
[Gb] I [C] _ [D] _ _ [Gm] _ [F] _ _ [D] _ _
[Eb] _ was told [Gm] me be careful with you.
[Eb] Don't go around breaking in girl
[Gm] _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ _
[N] _ _ _ _ _ You've done this before
For _ those of you who haven't you just have to repeat after me
_ _ _ _ People [Eb] _ _ always [Gm] told me be careful what you do
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [Db] _ Start _ _ _ to find [Eb] good help, you know _ _
_ [G] _ _ [B] My _ [Eb] mom always told me be [Gm] careful
_ Be [Eb]
careful what you do because [Gb] the line
becomes the truth
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [B]
Billie Jean [Bb] is not my [C] lover
[D] _ _ [Gm]
She [Dm] is just a girl who [Gm] says
Says that I am the [Eb] one
_ _ _ But the kid is not my [Gm] son
_ [Am] _ [F] _ _ [Gm] _
[F] _ _ _ [Gm] _ For [N] 40 days and for 40 nights
[Eb] The law was on her side
But [Ab] who can stand when she's in demand
All her [Eb] schemes and her plans
_ All because we danced [Gm] on the floor
[A] _ [F] _ So _ [D] here's a little bit of [Eb] strong advice right from MJ.
He says _
Remember to always [Gm] think [F] twice
[Gm] It's a little ironic, I know
[C] _ _ _ [Eb] People always told me [Gm] be careful what you do
_ [Eb] Don't go around breaking in [Gm] _ girl's hearts
_ _ [Eb] _
But she came and stood right by [Gm] me
It was the smell of her sweet perfume
[Eb] It happened much too soon
[C] She called [Gb] me to her room
[C] Now what was I to do? _
This [Gb] is the story that I
Staked to [Gm] the [G] world
Billie Jean is not my lover _
_ [Gm] _ She is just a girl who says
That I am the [Eb] one _ _ _ _
But the kid is not [Ebm] my [Gm] [C] son
[F] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _

[D] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
