Billie Jean on Ukulele

For 2014, I've decided to do youtube videos of covers. So here I am playing this. It is a bit cringy for me to do this, but what the hell, I'm sure it gets easier.


And the chords. You can play Bm7 as 0000, though I think technically that's Bm6.

And I really good version of this is of course James Hill and The Civil Wars.

Em Bm Em Bm

Em          Bm              Em                                 Bm
She Was More Like A Beauty Queen From A Movie Scene

His eyes looked like mine

She Called Me To Her Room
