Verse 1:
D A D A G
I've been cheated by you since I don't know when.
D A D A G
So I made up my mind it must come to an end.
D (lick #1) Dmin#5
Look at me now, will I ever learn?
D (lick #2) Dmin#5 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, oooh.
Chorus:
D
Mama mia, here I go again.
C G D
My my, how can I resist you?
D
Mama mia, does it show again?
C G D
My my, just how much I've missed you.
D (Lick #3) A
Yes, I've been brokenhearted.
Bmin F#min
Blue since the day we parted.
C G Emin A
Why why did I ever let you go.
D (Lick #4) Bmin
Mama mia, now I really know,
C G Emin A
My my, I could never let you go.
Verse 2:
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.
And when you go, when you slam the door,
I think you know that you won't be away too long,
You know that I'm not that strong.
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring,
One more look and I forget everything, oooh.
Mama mia, here I go again.
My my, how can I resist you?
Mama mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I've missed you.
Yes, I've been brokenhearted,
blue since the day we parted.
Why, why did I ever let you go.
Mama mia, even if I say
bye bye, leave me now or never,
Mama mia, it's a game we play.
Bye bye doesn't mean forever.
Mama mia, here I go again.
My my, how can I resist you?
Mama mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I've missed you.
Yes, I've been brokenhearted,
blue since the day we parted.
Why, why did I ever let you go.
Mama mia, now I really know,
my my, I could never let you go.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official ABBA tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
