 Abba – Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
        (A Man After Midnight)
 Transcribed by Ben Hollis
 I’m not 100% certain of the intro;
 I think the chords are correct but
 The picking pattern may be different.
 I’ve included easy and hard versions;
 The hard version sounds a little
 Harsh on overdriven guitar because of
 The slides.  If anyone knows a better
 Way please send in a correction.

 I’m afraid I don’t play keyboard
 So you’ll have to find someone
 Else to sort that out for you.
 
 Just before the verse there is a
 Bass fill which goes:
 
 A-5-3----------
 E-----5-3-1-3
 
 I’ve marked this part of the song 
 with an asterisk
 
 Apart from this fill the bass plays
 Just the root note throughout the song
 
 NC means “no chord”, so just let ring/
 Be silent
 
 In the verse slide a bar chord shape up
 >From F5 to G5
 
 In the Pre-Chorus there isn’t much of a
 harmony part – the chords just show what
 the bass is playing
 
 The chorus and the intro seem to have
 Slightly different chords, but I’m not
 certain
 
 The song goes into an instrumental section,
 I don’t play that bit so it’s not included
 here
