A catchy ABBA tune which also featured in the musical theatre show and film “Mamma Mia”, “Lay All Your Love On Me” was originally released in 1980.
A really fun one to work out the notes too – though I wasn’t sure if this version, or shifted 1 semitone up (starting on Bb) sounded better – I’ve published this version as it’s mainly natural notes and therefore easier for beginners 🙂 Enjoy!
A A-A A – G F – G A A
I wasn’t jealous before we met
A A-A A – A A ^C
Now every woman I see
A G F-F-G G
Is a potential threat
A A A – A – G F G-A A
And I’m possessive, it isn’t nice
A A A A-A A ^C-A
You’ve heard me saying that smoking
G F F-G G
Was my only vice
C D F F-F D
But now it isn’t true
D E-G-G G E
Now everything is new
E F A F
And all I’ve learned
F G-Bb-G
Has overturned
G A A A-^D
I beg of you…
F E D – E F G-F-E
Don’t go wasting your emotion
F G A G G F
Lay all your love on me…
