If you change your mind, I'm the first in line.

                                       G
Honey I'm still free, take a chance on me.

G
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around. 

                                    C
If you've no place to go, if you're feelin down.

Gonna do my very best, and it aint no lie,

                                  C

       Dm        G
Take a chance on me (that's all I ask of you),

       Dm        G
take a chance on me.



Dm                                         C
We can go dancing, we can go walking, as long as were together.

Dm                                       C
Listen to some music, maby just talking, get to know you better.

                      Am                  F
cuz you know I've got so much I wanna do, when I dream I'm alone with you.

Am         F   G
It's magic.

Am                             F
You want me to leave it there, afraid of a love affair,

      Dm           G         Dm             G
but I think you know, that I can't let you go.



       Dm        G
Take a chance on me (come on, give me a break, will you).

       Dm        G
Take a chance on me.


           Dm
Oh you can take your time baby, I'm in no hurry.

  C                       Dm
I know I'm gonna get you. You don't want to hurt me,

                  C
baby don't worry, I aint gonna let you.

                     Am                       F
Let me tell you now, my love is strong enough to last

                            Am
when things are rough. It's magic.

Am                            F
You say that I waste my time, but I cant get you off my mind.

     Dm           G         Dm       G
No I can't let you go, cuz I love you so.



            C                                                        G

ABBA Gold

A7                 
 I have a dream
           D
 A song to sing
            A7
 To help me cope
         D
 With anything
                A7
 If you see the wonder
      D
 Of a fairy tale
                  A7
 You can take the future
             D
 Even if you fail
             A7
 I belive in angels
                   G            D
 Something good in everything i see
             A7
 I belive in angels
                G                 D
 When i now the time is right for me
             A7
 I cross the stream
          D
 I have a dream

I Have A Dream

Ring Ring

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
                                           A
Ring   Ring  the happiest sound of them all.
                                             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.

Written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. Lead vocal by Agnetha Fältskog, with Anni-Frid Lyngstad joining in on the chorus.

C                  D#dim       Dm          G7             C        C7
I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore
   F                     A7                                  Dm            G7 
If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before
    C                  G7
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
          C                C7                F              Fm
'Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
       Am
I'm so grateful and proud
      Dm                              G7
All I want is to sing it out loud,  so I say

[Chorus]
C                            Dm             G7             C
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Am                        D7              G7
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
C                    Dm            Em            F
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
                         Fm
What would life be?
                 C              C7                    A
Without a song or a dance what are we?
              Dm                  F
So I say thank you for the music
       G7              C                D#dim    Dm     G7

Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
F                              A7                               Dm          G7
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
     C                       G
And I've often wondered, how did it all start?
     C                     C7                     F              Fm
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
       Am
Like a melody can?
         Dm                              G7   
Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan, so I say

Without a song or a dance what are we?

So I say thank you for the music
    G7                 C               D#dim    Dm     G7
For giving it to me

[Bridge]
Fm6              C                     Fm6                   C
I've been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair
Fm6        E7                Am   
I wanna sing it out to everybody
Dm                                          G7
What a joy, what a life, what a chance!

Dm n.C.
Half past twelve
        Gm                                     
And I'm watching the late show in my flat all alone
                                      Dm
How I hate to spend the evening on my own

Autumn winds
        Gm
Blowing outside the window as I look around the room
                                        Dm
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom
Bb
There's not a soul out there
Gm                         Dm/A  A
No one to hear my prayer



chorus:

 Dm          Bb      C         Dm            
 Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
 Bb             Dm                  C       Dm
 Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away
 Dm          Bb      C         Dm            
 Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
 Bb                  Dm              C            Dm
 Take me through the darkness to the break of the day




Dm F Am Dm x2


 
Dm n.C.
Movie stars
         Gm
Find the end of the rainbow, with that fortune to win
                                            Dm
It's so different from the world I'm living in

Tired of T.V.
           Gm
I open the window and I gaze into the night
                                            Dm
But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight
Bb
There's not a soul out there
Gm                         Dm/A  A
No one to hear my prayer
