[D-10x777x] [Daug-10x877x]  x 4
(drum pickup is BBS onto final Daugs)

[Verse 1 - Drums in]- play D at 5th fret so can move to A/D - x57655 easily
[D] I've been [A/D - xx0220] cheated by [D] you, 
since I [A/D] don't know [G] when (G riff - start 3x002x) 
[D] So I [A/D] made up my [D] mind, 
it must [A/D] come to an [G] end

[D - x5777x] Look at me now, [Daug - xx0332 - OR x5877x] 
[D] will I [Daug] ever learn?
[D] I don't know how [Daug] [D] but I [Daug] suddenly 
[G] lose control
There's a fire with [A] in my soul

[G] Just [D/F#] one [A] look and I can hear a bell ring 
[G] One [D/F#] more [A] look and I forget everything,

[Chorus]
[D] Mamma mia, here I go again
[C/G] My [G] my, [G] how can I re [D/G] sist you?
[D] Mamma mia, does it show again?
[C/G] My [G] my, [G] just how much I've [D/G] missed you

[D] Yes, I've been [A/C#] brokenhearted
[Bm] Blue since the [F#m/A] day we parted
[C/G] Why, [G] why [Em] did I ever [A] let you go? 
[D] Mamma mia, [Bm] now I really know,
[C/G] My [G] my, [Em] I could never [A] let you go.

[Instrumental]
D Daug D Daug 

[Verse 2] 
[D] I've been [A/D] angry and [D] sad 
about the [A/D] things that you [G] do
[D] I can't [A/D] count all the [D] times 
that I've [A/D]told you we're [G] through

[D] And when you go, [Daug] [D] when you [Daug] slam the door
[D] I think you know [Daug] [D] that you [Daug] won't be a 
[G] way too long
You know that I'm [A] not that strong.

[G] Just [D/F#] one [A] look and I can hear a bell ring
[G] One [D/F#] more [A] look and I forget everything

[Chorus]
[D] Mamma mia, here I go again
[C/G] My [G] my, [G] how can I re [D/G] sist you?
[D] Mamma mia, does it show again?
[C/G] My [G] my, [G] just how much I've [D/G] missed you

[D] Yes, I've been [A/C#] brokenhearted
[Bm] Blue since the [F#m/A] day we parted
[C/G] Why, [G] why [Em] did I ever [A] let you go?

[D] Mamma mia, even if I say
[C/G] Bye [G] bye, [G] leave me now or [D/G] never
[D] mamma mia, it's a game we play
[C/G] Bye [G] bye [G] doesn't mean for [D/G] ever

[D] Mamma mia, here I go again
[C/G] My [G] my, [G] how can I re [D/G] sist you?
[D] Mamma mia, does it show again?
[C/G] My [G] my, [G] just how much I've [D/G] missed you

[D] Yes, I've been [A/C#] brokenhearted
[Bm] Blue since the [F#m/A] day we parted
