Album: Super Trouper released in 1980
Recommended Chord Voicings
A/C#
 = x4222x
D/A
  = x00232
D/F#
 = 254232

Instead of playing D/F# = 254232 as above, you can substitute the DM7/F# below:
DM7/F#
 = 244232
(This is easiest because each time D/F# appears in this song,

They came from the hills

And they came from the valleys and the plains

They struggled in the cold

In the heat and the snow and in the rain

We're all summoned by a tune
F#m                 D/F# F#m
We're following the pi - per

They came from the south

From the west and the north and from the east

They waited for the man

Like a parish is waiting for the priest

Longed to hear him play

The fire in his eyes
