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)

I�m afraid I don�t play keyboard
G 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
