Billie Jean — Piano Lead Sheet
52 people have learned this song
"Billie Jean" lead sheet with chords, melody, and lyrics. Play the melody while following chord symbols above. Perfect for sing-along or accompaniment. Key of A, 120 BPM.
This arrangement is a great workout for left-hand independence — your bass line uses an Alberti pattern that needs to stay locked in at 120 BPM while your right hand handles the melody.
Start hands-separate and get that left hand on autopilot before combining.
The chord set leans heavily on minor sevenths like F#m7 and Bm7, plus a C#7 that adds real tension, so spend time shaping those voicings until they feel natural under your fingers.
Watch the transition from G#m back to F#m — it's easy to fumble that half-step shift if you're not anticipating it.
The move to the C natural chord will also catch you off guard since it sits outside the key; flag it mentally so you don't hesitate.
Loop the trickiest four-bar phrase at 80 BPM until it's clean, then gradually bring it up to tempo.
This is the piece that'll make your seventh-chord transitions feel effortless going forward.
