“Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!” was another global chart-topping success for ABBA. It’s been more recently covered by Cher in the hit film Mamma Mia, and also by the A-Teens back in 1999.
It’s a great one for beginners to practice, it works well across most instruments including piano, guitar, recorder, keyboard, flute, whist, kalimba, violin, saxophone and more!
Did you know?! ABBA let Madonna sample “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!” in 2005 for use in her single, “Hung Up”.

Half past twelve
G F G – G F G A
And I’m watching the late show
D F G G F-G
In my flat all alone
D F G G G
How I hate to spend
A G – F D C D
The evening on my own…
^D-^C A
Autumn winds
G – F G – G F G – A
blowin’ outside the window
D F G G – G F G
As I look around the room
D F G G G A – G
And it makes me so depressed
F D C D
To see the gloom…
E E E E F G
There’s not a soul out there
E – E E E F G
No-one to hear my prayer…
D – F D-F D-F
Gimme, gimme, gimme
A G F-D F – D
A man after midnight
G G-F-D F D
Won’t somebody help me
D D C – .A E-D
Chase the shadows away
D – F D-F D-F
Gimme, gimme, gimme
A G F-D F-D
A man after midnight
G G F D F-D
Take me through the darkness
D D C .A E D
To the break of the day!
