Dancing Queen - ABBA
Tonic: A natural major
Notes:
- Chords are my personal preference, not meant to be strictly accurate.
- For the jingles at the top-end, I play chords. Essentially A, E, D inverted such that the top line is A - G# - F#
- For bass notes during pedalling, A, E, C# -> A, F#, D sounds nice.
