Guitar chords with lyrics
Smooth Criminal Alien Ant Farm Tons of versions of this song in tabs, but only 1 is really right (rest are a bunch of clutter).

A5 B5
As he came into the window
|C5 B5 G5 |A5
Was a sound of a crescendo
B5
He came into her apartment
|C5 B5 G5 |A5
He left the bloodstains on the carpet

She was sitting at the table

So she ran into the bedroom

She was struck down, it was her doom
