There's a lot you can (Dmaj7)teach me

Could you (Dmaj7)feel the same way too
I (Bm7)wanna know (E7sus)
What's the name of the game
(VERSE 2):I have no friends, no-one to see
And I am never invited
Now I am here, talking to you
No wonder I get excited
Your smile, and the sound of your voice
And the way you see through me
Got a feeling, you give me no choice
But it means a lot to me
So I wanna know
(CHORUS)
And you make me talk...
The name of the game (I was an impossible case)
Does it mean anything to you (But I think I can see in your face)
That it means a lot, What's the name of the game
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Can you feel it the way I do (Got a feeling you give me no choice)
But it means a lot, what's the name of the game ...

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.
