Abba – Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
(A Man After Midnight)
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
