[G] And we move now across into [C] Sweden, the largest of the Scandinavian countries.
[G] And although we're looking at [F] streets, it's a [Em] country full of [C] mountains, lakes and forests.
And of course it's full of blonde Vikings.
And [G] this is one of the reasons why it's good for pictures.
[C] These are the Abba group, born [Em] [F] Frida, [G] [C] Anna, [Am] who's just beside her with the long [Em] blonde hair, [F] and [C] [G] Benny.
Now, if you can work that out, that's why they're called Abba,
because in fact [C] it's Benny born Annie Fried [Am] and [Em] Anna.
They made [F] their first record in 1972.
[F#] [G] If all the judges were men, which they're not, I'm sure this group would get a lot of votes.
You'll see [N] why in a minute.
The song is called
Oh, and it's Napoleon.
Napoleon, no wonder the song is called Waterloo.
This is Sven Olaf Waldorf, who's really entered into the spirit of it all,
dressed as Napoleon, waiting for Waterloo by Abba for Sweden.
[D] Watch this one.
