"The Piper" - ABBA (B. Andersson, B. Ulvaeus) Album: Super Trouper released in 1980 Recommended Chord Voicings A/C# = x4222x D/A = x00232 D/F# = 254232 Recommended chord substitution for beginners and the dexterity-challenged Instead of playing D/F# = 254232 as above, you can substitute the DM7/F# below:
DM7/F# = 244232
(This is easiest because each time D/F# appears in this song,
you play an F#m = 244222 right before and after) [Intro] | Bm | Bm | Bm | Bm | [Verse 1]

In the heat and the snow and in the rain
