"Smooth Criminal"
Tabbed by Adam
I've read that the bassist for this band plays a 6-string.
So, I looked at a picture of the band, and he certainly does.
I find that weird, because unless I'm hearing this wrong,
the only string used in this song is the E. OK, here goes...
[Intro/Verse]
G-------------------------------------------|
D-------------------------------------------|
A-------------------------------------------| (x8)
E---5---5-5-5-3-5-7-7---7-7-8-8---8-8-7-3---|
[Pre-Chorus] ("Are you OK...")
G---------------------------------|
D---------------------------------|
A---------------------------------| (x3)
E--1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-----3-3----|
G----------------------------------------------|
D----------------------------------------------|
A----------------------------------------------| (x1)
E--1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--3-3-3--|
[Chorus] ("Are you OK, will you tell us that you're OK...")
G-------------------------------------------|
D-------------------------------------------|
A-------------------------------------------| (x4)
E---5-5-5-5---3-3-3-3---1-1-1-1---3-1-3-----|

In the pre-chorus if you listen carefully enough you can hear tye playing an octave every 5 or so beats, something a little like this.
G|-------------------
D|------3----3-------
