Billie Jean - Michael Jackson (Cover)
Simplified chord chart for Billie Jean - Michael Jackson (Cover) (karaoke of Muramatsu Karaoke), in F#m at 117 BPM: 8 chords instead of 10, and 37 changes instead of 37. Sevenths became triads (Bm, C#, C#m, D, D#m, E, F#, F#m), which cuts down the shapes you have to learn. Good for playing along all the way through without stalling on a change.
In this version the sevenths were reduced to triads, but no change was merged: in this song the chords already last long enough, so the number of changes is the same. A diminished chord appears as minor — that is a substitution, not an equivalence: it sounds close when you are playing along, but it is not the same chord. For the harmony as it is, use the full version.
The chart has been transposed, but the video stays in the original key. The player is an iframe from another domain, and the YouTube API only exposes playback speed, which would shift key and tempo together. Use transposition to fit the singer's voice while playing without the video, or go back to the original key to play along.
