ABBA are a Swedish pop group formed in Stockholm in 1972 by Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad. The group's name is an acronym of the first letters of their first names. They became one of the most commercially successful acts in the history of popular music, topping the charts worldwide from 1974 to 1982. ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest 1974 at The Dome in Brighton, UK, giving Sweden its first triumph in the contest. They are the most successful group to have taken part in the competition.

This is difficult territory. To me the | D7 G/D G/D | part (verse) sounds close the way I tabbed it. The chord names, however, do not really fit, which becomes obvious once they are transposed. Their counterparts in different keys do not work.
Suggestions and corrections are highly welcome - looking forward to ways of solving this puzzle!
