                Dancing Queen – ABBA
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Written by: Benny Andersson/Björn Ulvaeus/Stig Anderson
From: "Arrival" (1976)

Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard

This is difficult territory. To me the | D7 G/D G/D  | part (verse)
sounds close the way I tabbed it. The chord names, however, do not 
really fit, which becomes obvious once they are transposed. Their 
counterparts in different keys do not work. 

Suggestions and corrections are highly welcome - looking forward 
to ways of solving this puzzle!

capo: 2nd fret
