How to Play Mamma Mia by ABBA on Guitar

Mamma Mia is one of ABBA's most joyful songs, and it's a surprisingly rewarding guitar piece. The Daug (D augmented) chord in the intro and outro is the song's signature colour — a standard D chord with the 5th raised by a semitone, creating an unsettled, spinning feeling.

The chorus uses a colourful descending D – C – G – G movement and introduces Bm, F#m and Em for a rich harmonic journey within D major.

Tips for Playing Mamma Mia

  • Daug = D chord but 3rd finger on 3rd fret B string (instead of 2nd fret) — try xx0332.
  • F# in the pre-chorus is a major barre chord (2nd fret E-shape); not F#m — keep it bright.
  • The chorus D – C – G descent is the hook; practise it as a smooth strummed sequence.
