Title: The Winner Takes It All
Artist: ABBA
Transcribed in friendly G, ABBA's recording is in F#, however.
To match the key of the recording:
- transpose this chord sheet -1 to F# or
- tune down the guitar on step to Eb-Ab-Db-G-Bb- Eb or
- transpose this chord sheet -2 to F and use a capo 1st fret
- transpose this chord sheet -5 to D and use a capo 4th fret (my preferred option)
Novice players may leave out the slash chords (see voicings below) and just
play the regular shapes ( E7 instead of E7/G#, D instead of D/F# etc.).

[Verse]
F#
I don't wanna talk
C#/F
About things we've gone through
G#m/D#
Though it's hurting me
C#
Now it's history
F#
I've played all my cards
C#/F
And that's what you've done too
G#m/D#
Nothing more to say
C#
No more ace to play
[Chorus]
F#
The winner takes it all
A#7 D#m
The loser standing small
D#7/G G#m
Beside the victory
C#
That's her destiny
[Verse]
F#
I was in your arms
C#/F
Thinking I belonged there
G#m/D#
I figured it made sense
C#
Building me a fence
F#
Building me a home
C#/F
Thinking I'd be strong there
G#m/D#
But I was a fool
C#
Playing by the rules
[Bridge]
F#
The gods may throw a dice
A#7 D#m
Their minds as cold as ice
D#7/G G#m
And someone way down here
C#
Loses someone dear
[Chorus]
F#
The winner takes it all
A#7 D#m
The loser has to fall
D#7/G G#m
It's simple and it's plain
C#
Why should I complain?
[Verse]
F#
But tell me does she kiss
C#/F
Like I used to kiss you?
G#m/D#
Does it feel the same
C#
When she calls your name?
F#
Somewhere deep inside
C#/F
You must know I miss you
G#m/D#
But what can I say
C#
Rules must be obeyed
[Bridge 2]
F#
The judges will decide
A#7 D#m
The likes of me abide
D#7/G G#m
Spectators of the show
C#
Always staying low
[Bridge 3]
F#
The game is on again
A#7 D#m
A lover or a friend
D#7/G G#m
A big thing or a small
C#
The winner takes it all
[Verse]
F#
I don't wanna talk
C#/F
If it makes you feel sad
G#m/D#
And I understand
C#
You've come to shake my hand
F#
I apologize
C#/F
If it makes you feel bad
G#m/D#
Seeing me so tense
C#
No self-confidence, but you see …Z
[Outro]
| F# | F# A#7 | D#m | D#m D#7/G |
The winner takes it all
[ D#7/G ] | G#m | % | C# | % |
The winner takes it all ...
F# A#7 D#m D#m D#/G
So the winner takes it a -all
G#m C#
And the loser has to fall
F# A#7 D#m D#m D#/G
Throw a di-ice, cold as ice
G#m C#
Way down here, someone dear
F# A#7 D#m D#m D#/G
Takes it a-all, has to fall
G#m C#
It seems plain to me ...
