Smooth Criminal Tabs

(ver. 3)
Alien Ant Farm
Dropped D tuning (turn the nob 180 degeez downward.) I just think it's eaiser
to play the chordes when you drop D because this song is played relativly fast
so it dosen't really matter if you drop D or not I just think it eaiser. If you
don't want to mess around with tuning, just look at the D parts of the tab and
pretend that number is two frets down. EX:

Dropped D                                            Standard Tuning

Lyrics:

As he came into the window 
Was a sound of a crescendo 
He came into her apartment 
He left the bloodstains on the carpet 
She was sitting at the table 
He could see she was unable 
So she ran into the bedroom 
She was struck down 
It was her doom 

Annie, are you OK 
Are you OK 
Are you OK, Annie 
Annie, are you OK 
You OK 
Are you OK, Annie 
Annie, are you OK 
You OK 
You OK, Annie 
Annie, are you OK 
You OK 
Are you OK, Annie 

Annie, are you OK 
Will you tell us that you’re OK 
There’s a sign at the window 
That he struck you 
A crescendo, Annie 
He came into your apartment 
He left the bloodstains on the carpet 
Then you ran into the bedroom 
You were struck down 
It was your doom 

Annie, are you OK 
You OK 
Are you OK, Annie 
Annie, are you OK 
You OK 
Are you OK, Annie 
Annie, are you OK 
You OK 
Are you OK, Annie 
You’ve been hit by 
You’ve been struck by 
A smooth criminal 

So they came into the outway 
It was Sunday 
What a black day 
I could feel your salutation 
Sounding heartbeats 
Intimidations 

Annie, are you OK 
You OK 
Are you OK, Annie 
Annie, are you OK 
You OK 
Are you OK, Annie 
Annie, are you OK 
You OK 
Are you OK, Annie 
Annie, are you OK 
You OK 
Are you OK, Annie 

Annie, are you OK 
Will you tell us that you’re OK 
There’s a sign at the window 
That he struck you 
A crescendo, Annie 
He came into your apartment 
He left the bloodstains on the carpet 
Then you ran into the bedroom 
You were struck down 
It was your doom 

Annie, are you OK 
You OK 
Are you OK, Annie 
You’ve been hit by 
You’ve been struck by 
A smooth criminal 

Annie, are you OK 
Will you tell us that you’re OK 
There’s a sign at the window 
That he struck you 
A crescendo, Annie 
He came into your apartment 
He left the bloodstains on the carpet 
Then you ran into the bedroom 
You were struck down 
It was your doom 

Annie, are you OK 
You OK 
Are you OK, Annie 
Annie, are you OK 
You OK 
Are you OK, Annie 
Annie, are you OK 
You OK 
Are you OK, Annie 
Annie, are you OK 
You OK 
Are you OK, Annie
