Standard (EADGBE)

There's something strange going on tonight

There's something going on that's not quite right

Michael's nervous and the lights are bright

There's something going on that's not quite right

There's something going on that wasn't here before

Keep your eyes glued to the floor

There's something strange going on tonight

There's something going on that's not quite right

There's something strange going on tonight

There's something going on that's not quite right

Michael's nervous and the lights are bright

There's something going on that's not quite right

There's something going on that wasn't here before

Keep your eyes glued to the floor

There's something strange going on tonight

There's something going on that's not quite right

There's something going on that wasn't here before

Keep your eyes glued to the floor

No one's going to say goodnight

There's something going on that's not quite right

End on G.

The second time this section is played, the notes played on 'the beats' in

each bar (there are 4) are emphasised.

X - mute with palm of hand

U - upstroke

D - downstroke

This is mainly a 2 guitar song. Guitar1 is in the right stereo channel

and guitar24 is in the left. Guitar2 has a cleaner sound than guitar1.

This song is a straight forward boogie kind of thing in the key of G. The

verses centre around G and C, and the chorus' centre around E5 and A5. I was a

bit of a 'train spotter' and tried to include all the rhythmic variations (as

well as ascii tab allows) because it sounds boring just played with a

straight shuffle feel.

The guitar solo has guitar1 picking out the melody, guitar2 playing the backing

chords and guitar3 playing a short, descending, 'walking bassline' sequence.

Guitars 1 and 3 can be included as one part quite easily but the way all the

notes are left ringing I would say there are 2 guitars on the record here.

The timings between the 2 guitars, as written above, should be pretty accurate

but check the record for details.

The choruses and 'Do Do' sections are filled out with an Organ (and handclaps)
