ABBA was a pop music group formed in Stockholm, Sweden in November 1970. The band consisted of Anni-Frid Lyngstad (Frida), Bj&ouml;rn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Agnetha F&auml;ltskog. (See also Bj&ouml;rn Ulvaeus &amp; Benny Andersson, as well as Benny's previous band Hep Stars.)  They topped the charts worldwide from 1972 to 1982 with eight studio albums, achieving twenty-six #1 singles and numerous awards. They also won the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest with Waterloo.  

ABBA est une formation musicale suédoise fondée à Stockholm en novembre 1970 par Agnetha Fältskog, Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus et Anni-Frid Lyngstad (dite Frida). Les initiales des 4 prénoms formant le palindrome ABBA, ce n'est qu'en 1976 que le désormais célèbre logo (avec un B inversé) sera utilisé (ce logo est un ambigramme). Leur aventure s'achève en 1982.  Arte (la chaîne de télévision franco-allemande) leur a consacré un excellent documentaire en 2008 ; voici le texte intéressant qui l'accompagnait sur leur site, et complètera le paragraphe précédent. 

ABBA war eine schwedische Popgruppe der Siebziger und frühen Achtziger Jahre des 20. Jahrhunderts und eine der weltweit populärsten Musikgruppen dieser Zeit. Mit mehr als 370 Millionen verkaufter Tonträger gehören ABBA auch zu den kommerziell erfolgreichsten Gruppen der jüngeren Musikgeschichte.  Die Band formierte sich in den frühen 1970er Jahren und schaffte ihren internationalen Durchbruch 1974 durch den Sieg beim Eurovision Song Contest mit dem Titel Waterloo.

ABBA fue un grupo sueco de música pop, el de más éxito en su país y en Europa continental, de notable significado dentro del pop y el grupo más exitoso de la década de 1970.[1] Saltó a la fama tras triunfar en el Festival de la Canción de eurovision 1974[2] y estuvo activo entre los años 1972 y 1982.  El cuarteto estaba formado por dos parejas: Benny Andersson con Anni-Frid Lyngstad (mejor conocida como Frida) y Bj&ouml;rn Ulvaeus con Agnetha F&auml;ltskog. El nombre &quot;ABBA&quot; es un acrónimo formado por las primeras letras del nombre de cada miembro (Agnetha, Björn, Benny, Anni-Frid).[3]

REPEAT CHORUS

Dancing Queen

A              
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
						F#m
I remember long ago another starry night like this
			Bm
In the firelight Fernando
							     E
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar

I could hear the distant drums and sounds 
					A
of bugle calls were coming from afar


Chorus :
					E
There was something in the air that night
				A
The stars were bright, Fernando
			     E				A
They were shining there for you and me, for liberty, Fernando
					F#	            B7
Though we never thought that we could lose, there's no regret
			   E				  A
If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando
			   E				  A
If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando

Other verses :

They were closer now Fernando
Every hour, every minute seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid Fernando
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
And I'm not ashamed to say the roar of guns and cannons
Almost made me cry

Now we're old and grey Fernando
And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
Do you still recall the fateful night we crossed the Rio Grande?
I can see it in your eyes how proud you were to fight
For freeedom in this land

Fernando

 To help me cope
         D
 With anything

 If you see the wonder
      D
 Of a fairy tale

 You can take the future
             D
 Even if you fail
             A7
 I belive in angels

though you are standing near.
Dm                A7   
You made me feel alive

but something died, I fear.

You're so hot, teasing me
G         C          Bm           Am          G          D
So you're blue but I can't take a chance on a chick like you
                               G
That's something I couldn't do
G                         Em
There's that look in your eyes
G     C            Bm             Am           G           D
I can read in your face that your feelings are driving you wild
                                 G
Ah, but girl you're only a child

C
Well I can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
                                  G
Does your mother know that you're out?
C
And I can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
                                  G
Does your mother know that you're out?


G
Take it easy (take it easy)

Better slow down girl

That's no way to go
Does your mother know?
G
Take it easy (take it easy)
       C       G
Try to cool it girl

Take it nice and slow
Does your mother know?


G                  Em
I can see what you want
G       C           Bm          Am             G           D
But you seem pretty young to be searching for that kind of fun
                        G
So maybe I'm not the one
G                               Em
Now you're so cute, I like your style
G     C             Bm            Am        G             D
And I know what you mean when you give me a flash of that smile (smile)

D                                           G
I've been cheated by you since I don't know when
D                                        G
So I made up my mind, it must come to an end
D               Daug               
Look at me now, will I ever learn?
D                Daug           G
I don't know how but I suddenly lose control
                   A     
There's a fire within my soul
G    D   A
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
G   D    A                    
One more look and I forget everything, o-o-o-oh

D                          G
Mamma mia, here I go again
C  G                      
My my, how can I resist you?
D                              G
Mamma mia, does it show again?
C  G          
My my, just how much I've missed you
D              A
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Bm                           G
Blue since the day we parted
C    G     
Why, why did I ever let you go?
D         Bm                  G
Mamma mia, now I really know,
C  G                             D
My my, I could never let you go.

D                                                 G
I've been angry and sad about the things that you do

I can't count all the times that I've told you we're through
D                Daug
And when you go, when you slam the door
D                Daug                       G
I think you know that you won't be away too long
                  A               
You know that I'm not that strong.
G    D   A               
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
G   D    A
One more look and I forget everything, o-o-o-oh

D                          G
Mamma mia, here I go again

Mamma mia, does it show again?

My my, just how much I've missed you
D              A
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Bm                           G
Blue since the day we parted

Why, why did I ever let you go?

Mamma mia, even if I say
C   G    
Bye bye, leave me now or never

mamma mia, it's a game we play
C   G 
Bye bye doesn't mean forever

Mamma mia, here I go again

My my, how can I resist you?

Mamma mia, does it show again?

D              A
Yes, I've been brokenhearted

Blue since the day we parted
C    G
Why, why did I ever let you go

Mamma mia, now I really know
C  G                 A       D
My my, I could never let you go

I can still recall, our last summer

D               G      Bm       C
I still see it all

  D               G       Bm           Em
Walks along the Seine, Dancing in the rain

Bm          C       D             G
Our last summer, memories that remain  


VERSE:

G                           Em 
We made our way along the river

        G                C   G               Am
And we sat down in the grass by the Eiffel tower

D                      G
I was so happy we had met

D                       G
It was the age of no regret

 D7    G
Ohhhh yes

  G          Em                 C
Those crazy years that was the time

G        Em     D
Of the flower-power

Am
But underneath

Am
We had a fear of flying

Am
Of growing old

Am
A fear of slowly dying

Am
We took our chance

                                D
Like we were dancing our last dance

Paris restaurants, Our last summer

Morning croissants

   D            G      Bm         C
Living for the day, worries far away

Bm          C       D                G 
Our last summer, we could laugh and play



G                            Em
And now you're working in a bank

          G              Am
A family man, a football fan

G                 Am
And your name is Harry

How dull it seems

Am                       D
Are you the hero of my dreams

Our Last Summer

G
I don't wanna talk
			D
About the things we've gone through
		Am
Though it's hurting me
		D
Now it's history
(G	D	Am	D)
I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play

		G
The winner takes it all
		Em7
The loser standing small
		Am
Beside the victory
		D
That's her destiny


(G	D	Am	D)
I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
(G	D	Am	D)
Building me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules

(G	Em7	Am	D)
The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
(G	Em7	Am	D)
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain.


(G	D	Am	D)
But tell me does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name?
(G	D	Am	D)
Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say
Rules must be obeyed

(G	D	Am	D)
The judges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
(G	Em7	Am	D)
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all


(G	D	Am	D)
I don't wanna talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You've come to shake my hand
(G	D	Am	D)
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence

But you see
(G	D	Am	D)
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all...

The Winner Takes It All

C                       Em
I was sick and tired of everything
       Dm                             G
When I called you last night from Glasgow
C                             Em
All I do is eat and sleep and sing
        Dm                 G6   G
Wishing every show was the last show

F                C        
So imagine I was glad to hear you're coming
F                   C
Suddenly I feel all right
F                    C
And it's gonna be so different
                             G7
When I'm on the stage to     night

Tonight the
         C      
Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
        C        G
Shining like the sun
Dm              G7
Smiling, having fun
                      C
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
             C 
Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
    C          G
But I won't feel blue
Dm            G7
Like I always do
                                      C       Am   Dm  G7
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

C                              Em
Facing twenty thousand of your friends
        Dm               G
How can anyone be so lonely
C                            Em
Part of a success that never ends
          Dm                    G
Still I'm thinking about you on-ly

F                        C
There are moments when I think I'm going crazy
F                   C
But it's gonna be alright
F                     C
Everything will be so different
                           G7
When I'm on the stage tonight

 Tonight the
C            C      
Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
      C        G
Shining like the sun
Dm              G7
Smiling, having fun
                      C
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
            C 
Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
     C          G
But I won't feel blue
Dm            G7
Like I always do
                                      C
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you
 
           F              Am
So I'll be there when you arrive
             Dm                G             C
The sight of you will prove to me I'm still alive
                     G       F
And when you take me in your arms
            Dm      A7
And hold me tight
  Dm                                G7
I know it's gonna mean so much tonight
 
Tonight the
C            C      
Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
       C        G
Shining like the sun
Dm              G7
Smiling, having fun
                      C
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
             C 
Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
     C          G
But I won't feel blue
Dm            G7
Like I always do
                                      C

Super Trouper

A                                                    D
I  was sitting by the phone,   I was waiting all alone
                                                     A
Baby by myself and sit and wait and wonder about you.                                                                                        D
It's a dark and dreary night, seems like nothing's going right.                                                                                     A
Won't you tell me honey how can I go on here without you.
E
Yes I'm down and feeling blue, and I don't know what to do, oh?.



A                                         E7
Ring   Ring   why don't you give me a call

                                             E
Ring   Ring  I stare at the phone on the wall.
         Bm                   
And I sit all alone impatiently, won't you please
                             E7
Understand the need in me, so
                                          A
Ring   Ring   why don't you give me a call.

G		Gm
Schoolbag in hand
	    D		F#m
She leaves home in the early morning
G	Gm
Waving goodbye
	D		A
With an absent-minded smile
G	    Ab
I watch her go
	D		F#m
With a surge of that well-known sadness
G		A		Dsus4	 D
And I have to sit down for a while  
    G			A		D	F#
The feeling that I'm loosing her forever 
G			A	   D
And without really entering her world
G		   A			D	    A		Dsus4	D
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter, that funny little girl

Slipping through my fingers all the time

I try to capture every minute

The feeling in it

Slipping through my fingers all the time
		G		D
Do I really see what's in her mind
		F#m		Em
Each time I think I'm close to knowing

She keeps on growing
			A		Dsus4	D
Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sleep in our eyes
	D	F#m
Her and me at the breakfast table
G	Gm
Barely awake
D			A
I let precious time go by
G		Gm
Then when she's gone

There's that odd melancholy feeling
G		A		Dsus4	D
And a sense of guilt I can't deny
	G		A	D
What happened to the wonderful adventures
	G	A		    D   D7
The places I had planned for us to go 
G			A
Well some of that we did
		D
But most we didn't
A			Dsus4	D
And why I just don't know


G			A		D
Slipping through my fingers all the time

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Do I really see what's in her mind

Each time I think I'm close to knowing

She keeps on growing

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
G 			A		D
And save it from the funny tricks of time

G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
