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.

Intro (easy version) (8 bars � 4 bars x2)

  D     Bb      C     D

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
