Ring Ring by Abba
I will give the lyrics with the chords and after that I will give the bass line and guitar riffs.
INTRO: A
D
I was sitting by the phone, I was waiting all alone
A
Baby by myself and sit and wait and wonder about you.
D
It's a dark and dreary night, seems like nothing's going right.
A
Won't you tell me honey how can I go on here without you.
E
Yes I'm down and feeling blue, and I don't know what to do, oh….
CHORUS:
A E7
Ring Ring why don't you give me a call
A
Ring Ring the happiest sound of them all.
E
Ring Ring I stare at the phone on the wall.
Bm
And I sit all alone impatiently, won't you please
E7
Understand the need in me, so
A
Ring Ring why don't you give me a call.
Verse 2: I was here and now you're gone, hey did I do something wrong? I just can't believe that I could be so badly mistaken. Was it me or was it you, tell me are we really through? Won't you hear me cry and will you know that my heart is breaking. Please forgive and then forget, or maybe darling maybe yet…
The guitar throughout the song copies most of the bass line.

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.
