Am  C  D  Am7

Verse 1:

D7                          Am7
It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark
D7                       Am7           
Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops your heart
          D7                                           Am7
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
            D7                                           Am7
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes,
Fmaj7        Em              
You're para-lyzed

Chorus 1:

              Am    C    D         Am7         
'Cause this is thril-ler, thril-ler night
   D7                               Dm7
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about strike
             Am    C    D         Am7
You know it's thril-ler, thril-ler night
      D7                              F7      D7       F/G Am7 
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller to- night

Verse 2:

D7                          Am7
You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run
D7                          Am7
You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun              
      D7                                    Am7
You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagi-nation
           D7                                         Am7
But all the while you hear the creature creepin' up be-hind
Fmaj7          Em
You're out of time

Chorus 2:

              Am    C    D         Am7         
'Cause this is thril-ler, thril-ler night
   D7                               Dm7
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about strike
             Am    C    D         Am7
You know it's thril-ler, thril-ler night
      D7                              F7      D7       F/G Am7  C
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller to- night

Bridge:

D7
Night creatures call
                                   Fmaj9     G
And the dead start to walk in their masquerade
Am7                      C/G                    Em7-5                 
There's no escapin' the jaws of the alien this time
Fmaj7                    E7sus4   E7
This is the end of your life

Verse 3:

D7                                Am7
They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every side
D7                        Am7
They will possess you un-less you change the number on your dial
          D7                                    Am7    
Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close to-gether
            D7                                         Am7
All thru the night I'll save you from the terror on the screen,
Fmaj7          Em
I'll make you see

Chorus 3:

            Am    C    D         Am7         
That this is thril-ler, thril-ler night
      D7                             Dm7
'cause I can thrill you more than any ghost would dare to try
              Am    C    D         Am7
Girl, this is thril-ler, thril-ler night
  D7                                F7      D7      F/G Am7  C
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, diller, chiller
Thriller here tonight

Rap:

(Ad-lib: Am  F/A  G/A  D/A)

(Rap by Vincent Price)

Darkness falls across the land
The midnite hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'awl's neighbourhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse's shell
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzy ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller
