Verse 1:
Dmin A7 Dmin
Where are those happy times - they seem so hard to find.
Dmin A7 Dmin
I try to reach for you but you have closed your mind.
F C
Whatever happened to our love ?
Gmin Dmin
I wish I understood.
Dmin A7 Dmin
It used to be so nice, it used to be so good.
Chorus:
F C Gmin Bb F/Fsus4/F/Fsus4
So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me, SOS
F C Gmin Bb F/Fsus4/F/Fsus4
The love you gave me, nothing less can save me, SOS
Bb Db Eb F
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on ?
Bb Db Eb F
When you're gone, though I try how can I carry on ?
Verse 2:
You seem so far away though you are standing near.
You make me feel alive but something died, I fear.
I really tried to make it up - I wish I understood.
What happened to our love, it used to be so good.

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.
