Title: Gimme, gimme, gimme
Artist: ABBA
(By Szehang Lee)

(Capo on 5th freet)


Half past twelve
And I'm [D] watching the late show in my [Dm] flat all alone
How I [F] hate to spend the evening on my [Am] own 

Autumn winds
Blowing [D] outside my window as I [Dm] look around the room
And it [F] makes me so depressed to see the [Am] gloom
[F] There's not a soul out there, [Dm] no one to hear my pray-[Am]-er [E] 

[Am] Gimme gimme [F] gimme a [G] man after [Am] midnight
[F] Won't somebody [Am] help me chase the [G] shadows [Am] away
Gimme gimme [F] gimme a [G] man after [Am] midnight
[F] Take me through the [Am] darkness to the [G] break of the [Am] day 

Movie stars
Find the [D] end of the rainbow with a [Dm] fortune to win
It's so [F] different from the world I'm living [Am] in 

Tired of T.V.
I [D] open the window and I [Dm] gaze into the night
But there's [F] nothing there to see, no one in [Am] sight
[F] There's not a soul out there, [Dm] no one to hear my pray-[Am]-er [E]

[Am] Gimme gimme [F] gimme a [G] man after [Am] midnight
[F] Won't somebody [Am] help me chase the [G] shadows [Am] away
Gimme gimme [F] gimme a [G] man after [Am] midnight
[F] Take me through the [Am] darkness to the [G] break of the [Am] day.

Song:


Dm   C     Am Dm
Half past twelve
        F  G                      F  G
And I'm watching the late show in my flat all alone
    F G                            C  Dm
How I hate to spend the evening on my own 
Dm   C    Am   Dm
Au - tumn winds
        F  G                 F G
Blowing outside my window as I look around the room
    F  G                            C    Dm
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom

Bb6
There's not a soul out there,
Gm6                 Dm/A A
no one to hear my pray - er

Dm          Bb6     C9        Dm
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
               Bb6               C9       Dm
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
            Bb6     C9        Dm
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
                    Bb6             C9           Dm
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day 

Dm   C    Am Dm
Mo - vie stars
     F   G                         F  G
Find the end of the rainbow with a fortune to win
     F  G                            C      Dm
It's so different from the world I'm living in 

Dm    C  Am Dm
Tired of T.V.
F G                   F G
I open the window and I gaze into the night
    F  G                                 C  Dm
But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight

Bb6
There's not a soul out there,
Gm6                 Dm/A A
no one to hear my pray - er

Dm          Bb6     C9        Dm
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
               Bb6               C9       Dm
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
            Bb6     C9        Dm
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
                    Bb6             C9           Dm
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
