Abba - Thank You for the Music
 
 
[Intro]
 
E
 
 
[Verse]
 
E           F#m7      F#m7/A      B7          E  F#m7 E
I'm nothing special in fact I'm a bit of a bore
   A                     A+                  F#m7  B7 B7b9
If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before
    E                  F#m7      B7
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing, 'cause
E        E+           A          Am
Ev'ryone listens when I start to sing
       C#m               C#9#5
I'm so grateful and proud
      F#m        F#m/E       B7
All I want is to sing it out loud
 
 
[Chorus]
 
B7 /C# /D# E                 F#m        B7sus4 B7  E
So I   say thank you for the music, the songs  I'm singing
C#m        C#m7/B  F#/E        B7sus4 B7
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
E                F#m
Who can live without it?
  Ab     C#m      A                   Am
I ask in all honesty, what would life be
          E       E7/D            C#7
Without a song or dance, what are we? second chorus:(E Am   E      Am)
/C# /D# /F  F#m       F#sus   F#m        B7          E C7/G F7sus4 B7
So  I   say thank you for the music, for giving it to me
 
 
[Verse]
 
E           F#m7    F#m7/A   B7           E    F#m7 E
Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
    A               A+                       F#m7  B7 B7b9
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
    E                        B7         B7#5
And I’ve often wondered, how did it all start
    E              E+            A           Am
Who found out that nothing could capture her heart
       C#m        C#m5+
Like a melody can
     F#m        F#m/E      B7
Well whoever it was, I’m a fan
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Am           E              Am               E
I've been so lucky I am the girl with golden hair
        Am      Ab     C#m  C#m7/B
I wanna sing it out to ev'rybody
F#m         F#m/E        B7     B7#5
What a joy, what a life, what a chance
 
 
[Chorus]
 
(last line replaced by following two)
 
/C# /D# /F  F#m       F#sus   F#m        B7          E E7/D C#
So  I   say thank you for the music, for giving it to me
/C# /D# /F  F#m       F#sus   F#m        B7          E A/F# E/G# Am E
So  I   say thank you for the music, for giving it to me

Easier to play if you transpose -2 and put the capo on 2

A brilliant app. I find it very useful.

Can someone check the outro? I'm not sure the E/G is correct, sounds weird, I found E/G# sounds nicer. I think the tune is in E major, and G# sits in the scale as the 3rd whereas G is not in there. otherwise amazing chords! thank you so much (for the music, lol)
