_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [Gbm] _ _
[B] _ [Eb] would like us.
I would like [B] to see a show in
[Abm] _ Europe
[Db] _ Like you yeah, I think that's great
This is where Michael Jackson dreamed [D] about touring Europe Gary, Indiana
Where he and his [F] eight brothers and sisters grew up on [Bb] coincidentally Jackson Street
_ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ First we started in [E] Gary, Indiana and Gary, Indiana
_ So we just started listening to the radio and so we just got together then [F] we sang country songs

[N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ to be afraid of these people they're gonna grab your hair
They're gonna pull they're gonna and you have to run from you must run from them for your life
And that's what he was taught from the very very beginning
The Jacksons do indeed stir up an audience into a frenzy
[Bb] So comes the ultimate test of the Jackson security people and before each concert some advice
[D] Be careful when you reach over to shake the hands of the guys out in front everybody

[Am] The youthful supergroup that had produced [Bm] America's first black teenage sex symbol was in turmoil [A] or so it seemed
[E] The Jackson 5 minus that sex symbol Jermaine were leaving the corporate family that spawned their career and moving to epic records
For [Em] Jermaine was an emotional time
[Am] I stayed at Motown because [B] I felt that's who introduced us to the world as a Jackson 5
so that's where I wanted to stay a lot of people said it was because
_ He was married to the chairman's daughter and this and that and didn't it didn't have anything to do with that
I said in Motown because that's what I believed in so they went on and I stayed but still that that never
Parted us from being family from being blood.
It's [G] just that I believe in one thing Something
_ [Ab] _ _ Maintain his relationship [F] with his brothers who found themselves on a [Bb] professional
Launching pad with a new record company [F] new management and the [Gm] maturing blossoming Michael Jackson increasingly at the helm _ _ _ _ _ _

Destiny triumph off the [Bb] wall Michaels first [A] solo effort
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
[A] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ And then thriller they built such a strong pyramid for the Jackson
Five or the Jacksons until it's hard to destroy that it's hard to tear that down Michael's success today
My success my sisters Latoya Ruby Janet and in the Jacksons my [A] brothers
I mean it has a lot to do with what was built from day one I

[Dm] Tour was too good to be [F] true
Coincidentally [N] these rehearsals.
I'll tell my brother about these rehearsals See
_ _ We were hurt so much now be because we well first of all the world is gonna see us at our best and but still
we want to just even feel like we're giving our best and so
The fact that I'm coming in and Marlon's got to get up off my note
He's been singing my note all these years
So now he's got to give it back to me
And we're all gonna do a lot of the stuff we did the Jackson five a lot of Michaels
