With this sheet music, you can play "The Winner Takes It All" by ABBA on piano!
It's an accurate, carefully created piano arrangement of the full song, in the original key of Gb major.
The vocal melody is included in the piano part, so it makes for a perfect piano solo cover.
Of course, you can also use this piano arrangement to accompany a singer, or sing along yourself - this sheet music includes a staff for the vocals, as well as the song's full lyrics!
"The Winner Takes It All" was the first single from ABBA's 1980 album "Super Trouper", which became the best-selling album of that year in the UK.
The song became a huge international success, and their last top 10 hit in the US before the band broke up in 1982.
It is often assumed that the famous ballad was inspired by the divorce between Björn Ulvaeus (who wrote the song's lyrics) and Agnetha Fältskog (who sang the lead vocals), but Ulvaeus said the song was "the experience of a divorce, but it's fiction. 'Cause one thing I can say is that there wasn't a winner or a loser in our case. A lot of people think it's straight out of reality, but it's not".
In any case, "The Winner Takes It All" is a fantastic ballad, an iconic hit from the early 80s, and it makes for a fantastic piano cover!
"The winner takes it all
The loser's standing small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny..."

Listening to this made me cry as it reminded me of my mum. She passed away just recently, March 15. She loved ABBA so much we'd do karaoke almost everyday and we'd sing their songs. Thank you for this💖

[@Montechait]

I'm sorry for your loss! Hope you'll find some comfort listening to songs you enjoyed together. All the best to you!

[@pidelpi12]

I don't wanna talk About things we've gone through Though it's hurting me Now it's history I've played all my cards And that's what you've done too Nothing more to say No more ace to play The winner takes it all The loser's standing small Beside the victory That's her destiny I was in your arms Thinking I belonged there I figured it made sense Building me a fence Building me a home Thinking I'd be strong there But I was a fool Playing by the rules The gods may throw a dice Their minds as cold as ice And someone way down here Loses someone dear The winner takes it all (takes it all) The loser has to fall (has to fall) It's simple and it's plain (it's so plain) Why should I complain? (Why complain?) But tell me, does she kiss Like I used to kiss you? Does it feel the same When she calls your name? Somewhere deep inside You must know I miss you But what can I say? Rules must be obeyed The judges will decide (will decide) The likes of me abide (me abide) Spectators of the show (of the show) Always staying low (staying low) The game is on again (on again) A lover or a friend (or a friend) A big thing or a small (big or small) The winner takes it all (takes it all) I don't wanna talk If it makes you feel sad And I understand You've come to shake my hand I apologize If it makes you feel bad Seeing me so tense No self-confidence But you see The winner takes it all The winner takes it all So the winner takes it all And the loser has to fall Throw the dice, cold as ice Way down here, someone dear Takes it all, has to fall And it's plain, why complain?

Brilliant, just had to get the sheet music... Is that the Pianoteq Bechstein you use?

[@Montechait]

Thank you very much! It's the Pianoteq Steinway (with a few tweaks and effects) :)

[@Timothy_Pitt]

What is pianoteq, please? You have a keyboard plugged into a laptop with pianoteq software, is that it? Excuse my ignorance
