Uke Lesson 9 - Billie Jean

Hey people! Billie Jean is live and online - Check it out here, if you haven't had the chance yet.

Also, here is Aldrine's full version of the song on YT, just in case you'd like to play along.

Aldrine was supposed to put together a chord sheet for all y'all sometime ... but I don't think he's gotten around to it yet.

I found a somewhat shoddy one here. And lyrics here.

Questions? Comments? Criticism? We'll take them all - post below, and have your way with it!

[3rd Verse]
For Forty Days And Forty Nights
The Law Was On Her Side
But Who Can Stand When She's In Demand
Her Schemes And Plans
'Cause We Danced On The Floor In The Round
So Take My Strong Advice, Just Remember To Always Think Twice
(Do Think Twice)

[4th Verse]
She Told My Baby We'd Danced 'Till Three
Then She Looked At Me
Then Showed A Photo My Baby Cried
His Eyes Looked Like Mine
Go On Dance On The Floor In The Round, Baby

[Bridge]
People Always Told Me Be Careful Of What You Do
And Don't Go Around Breaking Young Girls' Hearts
She Came And Stood Right By Me
Then The Smell Of Sweet Perfume
This Happened Much Too Soon
She Called Me To Her Room

[Chorus]
Billie Jean Is Not My Lover
She's Just A Girl Who Claims That I Am The One
But The Kid Is Not My Son
Billie Jean Is Not My Lover
She's Just A Girl Who Claims That I Am The One
But The Kid Is Not My Son
She Says I Am The One, But The Kid Is Not My Son
She Says I Am The One, But The Kid Is Not My Son
Billie Jean Is Not My Lover
She's Just A Girl Who Claims That I Am The One
But The Kid Is Not My Son
She Says I Am The One, But The Kid Is Not My Son
She Says I Am The One, She Says He Is My Son
She Says I Am The One
Billie Jean Is Not My Lover
Billie Jean Is Not My Lover
Billie Jean Is Not My Lover
Billie Jean Is Not My Lover
Billie Jean Is Not My Lover
Billie Jean Is Not My Lover
 
Oh my. My ignorance of the real lyrics has been fully revealed. Haha. I had a general idea of how the song went, but I guess I had the words all wrong...not that it really matters, as in that high range every note just sounds like a dead cat screeching when I sing it. :)
 
im so glad these lessons dont have "hanapa'a hawai'i" commercials before the vids. the screeching reel used to mean "hey get fish!", now its crap, stupid commercial
 
This is fun. :D It's going to take a while to get that strumming down, but at least I have an incentive to practice!

On a side note, I had no idea what any of the lyrics were to that song until I saw Aldrine's chord chart. XD
 
nice, it took me about 5 minutes to have the solo down...and less than 30 seconds for the alternative...now if I could only get that strumming down!
 
that's not a good enough "Self" epic fail aldrine...

here's mine:
