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). 
I don't think it should discredit a chord version with lyrics and timing.

     |C5         B5 (x244xx@1)     G5 (355xxx@1)|A5

                  B5He (x244xx@1)came into her apartment
           |C5                 B5 (x244xx@1)   G5 (355xxx@1)|A5
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
                       B5She (x244xx@1)was sitting at the table
        |C5            B5 (x244xx@1)  G5 (355xxx@1)|A5
He could see she was unable
                    B5So (x244xx@1)she ran into the bedroom
       |C5                  B5 (x244xx@1)      G5 (355xxx@1)|
She was struck down, it was her doom
